Operation Manual

WARNING
Fully comply with the regulations in
force concerning maximum clearance.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads;
see section "Technical specifications".
WARNING
Evenly distribute the load and take into
account, when driving, the increased
responsiveness of the car to side wind. Check
that the attachment fixing screws are tight
after a few kilometres.
HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for
the comfort and safety of not only the driver but
all other road users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to guarantee
the best visibility conditions for all drivers while
travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the headlights
properly adjusted.
Check beam aiming every time the load or its
distribution changes.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light beam
move vertically for about 2 seconds until headlamp
alignment has stabilised.
ANGLE COMPENSATION
The car is fitted with an electric headlight alignment
system. This system is operational with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the dipped beam headlights
on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This
means the headlight beam rises.
In this case, restore the correct direction by
operating buttons + and – fig. 63.
