ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on (Xenon)
gas discharge headlight lamps (where pro-
vided), it is normal that there should be a
vertical movement of reflectors, and con-
sequently the same will also happen to the
light beam, for the time required to
achieve the correct headlight trim stabili-
sation, equal to approx. 2 seconds.
Headlight aiming device
It works with ignition key at ON and
dipped beams on. When the car is loaded,
it slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 122
Press button A set on the control panel;
if the car is fitted with (Xenon) gas dis-
charge headlights, slant adjustment is elec-
tronic and therefore button A is not pre-
sent.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el, provides the visual indication of the po-
sitions during the adjustment operation
(fig. 123: multifunctional display - fig. 124:
reconfigurable multifunctional display).
Position 0 - one or two people occupy-
ing the front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permissi-
ble load stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.
