ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with ABS before, it is ad-
visable to perform a few tests on slippery ground, always
in safe conditions and respecting the highway code of the
country where you are driving. Read the following infor-
mation carefully.
This is an integral part of the braking system, which prevents
one or more wheels from locking or slipping regardless of
the road surface conditions and braking intensity, giving the
best control during emergency braking.
The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution), which distributes the braking action between
the front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For the maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding in period of about 500 km is needed
(with the vehicle new or after having replaced the brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged braking.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the direction checked
and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS
WHEN ABROAD
The dipped headlights are adjusted to work in the coun-
try where the vehicle was originally purchased. In coun-
tries where vehicles are driven on the other side of the
road, the beams are aligned by applying a specially designed
adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travel-
ling in the opposite direction.

INDEX
The ABS system gets the most out of the
available grip but it cannot improve it.
Therefore, you should take great care when dri-
ving on slippery surfaces: don’t take unnecessary
risks.
