To adjust the headlight slant
To adjust the headlight slant operate buttons
and Òlocated on the
dashboard.
The display provides the visual indication of the positions during the
adjustment operation.
Position 0 - one or two people occupying the front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permissible load stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every time the load carried changes.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped-beam headlights are adjusted for circulation in the country in
which the vehicle is marketed. In countries with opposite circulation, to
avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to cover the areas of the
headlight as shown below: this is done using non-transparent sticker tape.
Figures refer to passing from right-hand drive to left-hand drive.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of your car 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 “Service schedule”.
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 too much luggage stowed in the
boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in
town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as
soon as they are no longer used. These accessories
lower air penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. When needing to carry
particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the
requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up
to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly
affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on
average up to +20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may
adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

bulb, wrong bulb power. Light check concerns:
taillights, brake lights (3rd stop light excluded),
rear fog lights, headlights, direction indicators
and number plate lights.
The failure referring to these lights could be: one
or more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or
a cut-off electric connection.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface may be lightly misted over: this
is not a fault but a natural fact due to low temperature and the level of
air humidity. It will disappear as soon the headlights are turned on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:
AGlass bulbs:clipped into position. Pull to remove.
BBayonet type bulbs:press the bulb, turn counterclockwise to
remove this type of bulb from its holder.
CTubular bulbs:free them from their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs:to remove the bulb, release the clip holding the
bulb in place.
