ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD

Dipped headlights are adjusted for driving in the
country where the vehicle was originally purchased.
When travelling in countries with opposite driving
direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other
side of the road, you need to cover areas of the
headlight according to the Highway Code of the
country you are travelling in: fig. 107 (front right
headlight), fig. 108 (front left headlight).

ABS

ABS is an integral part of the braking system which
prevents, whatever the road conditions and force
applied to the brake pedal, one or more wheels from
locking and consequently slipping, thus ensuring
that the car 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.
