HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the headlights is
essential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and other road users. The head-
lights must be correctly directed to ensure
the best visibility. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the direction checked and, if
necessary, adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the key at MAR

car will slant backwards when it is loaded,
raising the light beam. The beams must
therefore be aimed again in this case.Headlight alignment adjustment

ADJUSTMENT ABROAD

The dipped headlights are adjusted to
work 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 trav-
elling in the opposite direction.
Such film is provided by Lineaccessori
Fiat and is available at Fiat Dealerships.
The illustrations refer to the changeover
from driving on the left to driving on the
right.

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with
ABS before, it is advisable to perform
a few tests on slippery ground, naturally in
conditions of safety and respecting the
highway code of the country where you
are driving. Read the following informa-
tion carefully.
ABS is an integral part of the braking sys-
tem which prevents, whatever the road
conditions and force applied to the brake
pedal, the wheels from locking and con-
sequently sliding under braking, thus en-
suring that the vehicle remains under con-
trol even during emergency braking.
The system is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Brakeforce Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For the maximum efficien-
cy of the braking system, a bedding-in pe-
riod of about 500 km is needed (for a new
vehicle or after having replaced the brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.The ABS gets the most from
the available grip, but it can-
not improve it; you should therefore
take every care when driving on slip-
pery surfaces and not take unneces-
sary risks.
WARNING
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has
been activated because the brake pedal
pulsates slightly and the system gets nois-
ier: this means that the car speed should
be altered to fit the type of road surface.
