HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM
ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the
headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and
other road users. To ensure the
best visibility when travelling with the
headlights on, the headlight
alignment must be correct. Contact
a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT
ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition
key in the MAR position and the
dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it
is laden, raising the beam. The
beams must therefore be realigned
in this case.Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press theandfig. 109
buttons on the control panel to
adjust.
The display located on the
instrument panel provides a visual
indication of the adjustment
position.
Position 0 - one or two people in the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the
luggage compartment.
Position 3 - driver + maximum
permitted load stowed in the
luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the light beam
alignment every time the load
transported changes.
FOG LIGHTS
ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and
adjusted.

ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. In countries where
vehicles are driven on the other side
of the road, the beams are aligned
by applying a specially designed
adhesive film in order not to dazzle
the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction.
Such film is provided by
Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at
Fiat Dealerships.
RADIO

During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or
damage the environment.
If the dedicated message is
displayed, refer to paragraph
"Warning lights and messages".

SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine
rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is “over-revving” resulting in a
gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual
or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it
takes place during the activation of
the climate control system or the
fan. It should not be considered as a
fault. In such cases, a slight
increase in engine idle speed helps
to sustain the battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in
the fuel tank.
E tank empty.F tank full (see the instructions
provided in the “Vehicle refuelling”
paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge
comes on to indicate that
approximately 8-10 litres of fuel are
left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank
almost empty: any gaps in
fuel supply could damage the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to
E and warning light A will flash to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and starts
working when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C.
In normal usage, the needle should
hover around the middle of the
scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.The warning light on the gauge may
light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on
certain versions) to indicate that
the coolant fluid temperature is too
high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
10)
IMPORTANT
10) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
