BEAM ADJUSTMENT fig. 60
The car is provided with electric adjust-
ment of the beams, operating with ignition
key on MAR and low beams on.
The car will slant backwards when it is
loaded, raising the light beam.
In that case, it is necessary to perform
beams adjustment with buttons + and –.
The display provides a visual indication of
the positions during adjustment.
Gas discharge headlights (Xenon head-
lights) are automatically adjusted. The
headlight position is electronic and there-
fore cannot be manually adjusted using the
+ and – buttons.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights properly adjusted.
BEAMS ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
Low beams factory adjustment depends
on the country where the car is pur-
chased. When you travel in countries with
different driving direction, to avoid blind-
ing the drivers who travel in the opposite
direction, it is necessary to cover the ar-
eas of the beam according to the provi-
sions of the Highway Code of the country
where you travel.
