FRONT FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact an Abarth Dealership to have the fog lights
properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
fig. 89-90
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 travelling in the opposite direction. HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct direction of the headlights is essential for
the comfort and safety of the driver and other road
users. The headlights must be correctly directed to
ensure the best visibility. Contact an Abarth Dealership
to have the fog lights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR
position and the dipped headlights on. The car will tilt
backwards when it is loaded, raising the light beam.
The beams must therefore be realigned in this case.

Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly. For this reason, there
must be no obstacles on the floor under the
pedals: ensure that rubber mats (if any) are
lying flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on
the shifting lever, because this pressure,
even if light, over time can wear out the
gearbox internal components.
MPORTANT Use of the clutch pedal must be limited
solely to gear changes. Do not drive with your foot
resting on the clutch pedal, however slightly. For
versions/markets where provided, the electronic clutch
control can intervene if it interprets incorrect driving
style as a fault.CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep
the running costs of your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and the way in
which it is laden greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.

Hand the leaflet over to the staff who
have to manage the tyre treated using
the tyre repair kit.
WARNING
In the case of a puncture, caused by a
foreign body, tyres that have suffered
damage up to a maximum diameter of 4
mm on the tread or the shoulder can be repaired.
The kit cannot be used to repair damage
to the tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick
repair kit if the tyre is damaged from running on
a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged (distortion
of the groove causing air leakage) it
cannot be repaired. Do not remove the foreign
body (screw or nail) from the tyre.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a
device does not work: the filament A-fig. 155 must be
intact. If it is, replace the blown fuse with another with
the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse;
C fuse with damaged filament.
