ADJUSTING THE 

HEADLIGHT BEAM

Proper adjustment of the headlight beams

is of vital importance for your safety and

comfort and also for the other road users.

To ensure you and other drivers have the

best visibility conditions when travelling

with the headlights on, the headlights must

be set properly. Contact Abarth Dealer-

ship to have the headlights properly ad-

justed.

It works with ignition key at MAR and

dipped beams on. When the car is loaded,

it slopes backwards. This means that the

headlight beam rises. In this case, it is nec-

essary to return it to the correct position.
