PERSONAL
ADJUSTMENTS
SEATS Lengthwise adjustment
Raise the lever A-fig. 10 and push
the seat forwards or backwards: in
driving position your arms should be
slightly bent and your hands should
rest on the rim of the steering
wheel.
After releasing the adjustment lever
always check that the seat is locked
into place by trying to move it back
and forth. Failure to lock the seat
could cause it to move and detach
from the guides.
All adjustments must be
made only with the
vehicle stationary.
WARNING
Do not remove the
seats or attempt to
service and/or repair them:
operations which are carried
out incorrectly may
compromise the operation of
the safety devices; always
contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

REAR AND SIDE
FOOTBOARDS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
To facilitate access to the load
compartment, the vehicle features
two rear footboards fig. 96.
To facilitate access to the passenger
compartment, the Adventure
version features side footboards.
HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the
headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and
other road users. To ensure the
best visibility when travelling with
the headlights on, the vehicle’s
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device operates with the
ignition key at MAR and the dipped
headlights on. The vehicle tilts
backwards when it is laden, raising
the beam. The beams must
therefore be realigned in this case.Headlight alignment

use the dedicated buttons on the
control panel to the left of the

The display on the instrument panel

the front seats.
Position 1 - four people.

the rear compartment.
