HEADLIGHTS
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 gas dis-
charge headlight lamps (for versions/ mar-
kets, where provided), it is normal that
there should be a vertical movement of
lenses, and consequently the same will al-
so happen to the light beam, for the time
required to achieve the correct headlight
trim stabilisation, equal to approx. 2 sec-
onds.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beams on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means that the headlight beam
rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.

ing vehicles, it is necessary to cover the

er tape provided for the purpose and avail-
able at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat
