HEADLAMPS
XENON LAMPS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Xenon lamps work with a voltaic arc
in a pressure Xenon saturated envi-
ronment, in place of the traditional fil-
ament.
The produced light is far greater than
that of traditional lamps, both for its
quality (lighter) and its lighting range.
The advantages in using such lamps
are the following: less eyes fatigue, im-
proved driver’s orientation and driving
safety, especially with the bad weath-
er, with fog and/or inadequate road
signs, illumination of side bands usu-
ally in the shadow.Illumination of side bands consider-
ably improves driving safety because
the driver is able to identify other road
users on the road margins (pedestri-
ans, bikers and motor-bikers).
When the lights come on, the volta-
ic arc tension is very high, but then it
falls.
The maximum light is obtained after
0.5 seconds after turning the head-
lamps on.
The great light produced by this type
of headlamps requires an automatic
system for maintaining the headlight
beam constant and preventing dazzling
other vehicles in the event of sudden
braking, acceleration or while carrying
heavy loads. Never load the rack with
more than the weight al-
lowed (see the “Technical
specifications” section).
Be careful not to knock
the tailgate into objects
on the roof rack.
After travelling a few
miles, check that the an-
chorage bolts of the at-
tachments are still fully tight.

DRIVING YOUR CAR
142
– only use full-beam headlights when
you are driving outside the city and
when you are sure they do not annoy
other drivers;
– if the headlights are on full, dip
them when you meet cars going in the
other direction and pass them with the
headlights dipped;
– keep all lights clean;
– be careful of animals crossing the
road when driving in the country.
DRIVING IN THE RAIN
Rain and wet road surfaces spell dan-
ger.
All manoeuvres are more difficult on
a wet road because the friction of the
wheels on the tarmac is greatly re-
duced. This is why braking distances
are much longer and roadholding on
bends is lower.
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– reduce speed and keep a greater
safety distance from the cars in front;– if it is raining particularly heavily,
visibility is also reduced. In these cas-
es, switch on the dipped headlights
even if it is still daylight, to make your-
self easier to be seen;
– do not drive through puddles at
speed and hold on tightly to the wheel:
the loss of grip caused by taking a pud-
dle at speed can make you lose con-
trol of the vehicle (“aquaplaning”);
– move the ventilation controls to
the position for demisting the win-
dows (see the section “Getting to
know your car”), to avoid visibility
problems;
– periodically check the condition of
the windscreen wiper blades. DRIVING AT NIGHT
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– drive especially carefully: it is hard-
er to drive at night;
– slow down especially if the road is
not lit;
– at the first signs of sleepiness, stop:
continuing would be a risk to yourself
and everybody else. Only start driving
again when you have had enough rest;
– keep a greater safety distance from
the cars in front of you than during
daylight hours: it is hard to judge how
fast other cars are going when all you
can see are their lights;
– make sure the headlight beams are
properly positioned: if they are too
low, they reduce visibility and are hard
on the eyes. If they are too high they
can dazzle other drivers;
