ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD

The dipped headlights are directed 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.
