IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with (Xenon) gas
discharge headlights, the headlight alignment is
controlled electronically, as a consequence
the
and
buttons are not present.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights checked
and adjusted, if necessary.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are aligned for operation
in the country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When in countries where you drive on
the other side of the road, you need to alter the
beam direction by affixing a specially designed
self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles
travelling in the opposite direction.
Such film is provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is
available at Fiat Dealerships.
ABS SYSTEM
ABS is an integral part of the braking system which
prevents, whatever the road conditions and force
applied to the brake pedal, the wheels from locking
and consequently sliding under braking, thus ensuring
that the vehicle remains under control even during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500
km is needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly
and the system gets noisier: it means that the car
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
