HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction 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 direction checked and, if necessary,
adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR
position and the dipped headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising
the beam.
The beams must therefore be aimed again in this
case.Adjusting headlight alignment
Press theorbuttons on the control
panelfig. 100.
The instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two people in the front seats.
Position1-fivepeople.
Position2-fivepeople + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permitted load
stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment of the light beams
each time the weight of the load transported
changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlights are directed for operation in
the country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. In countries where you drive on the
other side of the road, you need to alter the beam
direction by affixing a specially designed self-adhesive
film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travelling in
the opposite direction.

ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking system, which
prevents one or more wheels from locking or
slipping regardless of the road surface conditions and
braking intensity, giving the best control during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system, allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into
action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that the vehicle
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST (emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises
emergency braking conditions (according to the
brake pedal operation speed) and provides an
additional hydraulic braking pressure to support thatprovided by the driver. This allows faster and more
powerful operation of the braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical Brake Assist is
activated, noises may be heard from the system. This
is normal. In any case, while braking keep the brake
pedal firmly depressed.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot , but keep the pedal pushed down; in
doing so you, will stop in the shortest distance
possible under the road conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the
grip between tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit : you must slow down to
match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
in the
instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display on
some versions) (see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the braking system will work as normal,
but without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
andin
the instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display
on some versions) (see “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
WARNING
If only warning lightlights up in the
instrument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), stop
the vehicle immediately and contact the nearest
Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaking from the
hydraulic system will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.
