HEADLIGHTS
DIRECTING THE BEAM
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. To en-
sure the best visibility conditions during
travel with the headlights on the vehicle
must have beams aimed correctly. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights checked and properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle slants backwards when it is
loaded, raising the beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.FOG LIGHT AIMING DEVICE
(where provided)
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the
fog lights checked and properly adjusted.
REGULATING THE BEAMS
ABROAD
Dipped beams factory adjustment depends
on the country where the vehicle is pur-
chased. In countries driving on the left, the
beams are aimed by affixing a purposeful-
ly studied adhesive film in order not to
dazzle the vehicles travelling in the oppo-
site direction. This adhesive film is pro-
vided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at the Fiat Dealership. Headlight aiming device regulation
To adjust, press buttons Òand
fig. 92
on the control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el provides a visual indication of the posi-
tions during adjustment operations.
Position 0 - one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1 - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + loaded
boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted
cargo in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming when-
ever the weight of the load carried
changes.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
emission-related components of the vehi-
cle. It also alerts the driver, by switching
on of the warning light Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant mes-
sage on the display in some versions)
when these components are no longer in
peak conditions (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
The objective of this system is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒to warn about increased emissions due
to a vehicle malfunction;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.The system also has a diagnostic connector
that can be interfaced with appropriate
tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control unit to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the prob-
lem, to check the system completely, Fi-
at Dealerships are obliged to run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light Udoes not light up when the
key is turned to MAR or if, during
travel, the warning light comes on ei-
ther steady or blinking (along with a
message on the display). The opera-
tion of the warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.
