IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
A punctured tyre or a burnt-out bulb?
At times, a problem may interfere with
our journey.
The pages on emergencies can help
you to deal with critical situations
independently and with calm.
In an emergency we recommend that
you call the freephone number found in
the Warranty Booklet.
It is also possible to call the national or
international universal freephone
number to search for the nearest
Dealership.HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS.....132

IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
center of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
161) 162) 163) 164)
30) 31)
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
to replace the bulb, contact an
Abarth Dealership;
use the protective cover and carton
for the replacement bulb to dispose of
the old bulb promptly and out of the
reach of children;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this chapter.
IMPORTANT When removing the lens
or light unit using a flathead
screwdriver, make sure that the flathead
screwdriver does not contact the
interior terminal. If the flathead
screwdriver contacts the terminal, a
short circuit may occur.

163)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
164)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
IMPORTANT
30)Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at Abarth Dealership.
Proper operation and direction of the
external lights are essential for driving in
safety and comply with law.
31)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry

Fuse location
Fuses are grouped together in two fuse
boxes located on the left side of the
vehicle and under the bonnet.
FUSES ON THE LEFT
SIDE OF THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
make sure the ignition is switched
off, and other switches are off;
open the fuse panel cover
fig. 125 (located near the door);
press retaining clip and remove
protection cover;
pull the fuse straight out with the fuse
puller provided on the fuse block
located in the engine compartment
fig. 126;
inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown;
insert a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, and make sure it fits
tightly. If it does not fit tightly, contact an
Abarth Dealership. If you have no spare
fuses, borrow one of the same rating
from a circuit not essential to vehicle
operation, such as the AUDIO or
OUTLET circuit;
reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.
IMPORTANT Always replace a fuse with
a genuine FCA fuse or equivalent of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.12507031601-121-001AB

FUSES UNDER THE

scratched.
When removing the cover, remove it
slowly according to the following
procedure:
disengage the rear lock 1 fig. 127 by
pressing down on the front tab with
your fingers;

lifting the front of the cover 2;
remove the cover while lifting it and
sliding it to the rear;
if any fuse but the MAIN fuse is
blown, replace it with a new one of the
same amperage rating;
reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

WARNING
165)If the fuse blows again contact an
Abarth Dealership.
166)Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF
FIRE.
167)Contact an Abarth Dealership if a
safety system (airbags, brakes), power unit
system (engine, gearbox) or steering
system general protection fuse blows.
168)Do not replace the main fuse and
multiplex slow blow fuse by yourself.
Contact an Abarth Dealership to perform
the replacement. Replacing these fuses by
yourself is dangerous because they are
high current fuses. Incorrect replacement
could cause an electrical shock or a short
circuit resulting in a fire.
169)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition device is in OFF position
and that all the other services are switched
off and/or deactivated.
IMPORTANT
32)Never replace a fuse with metal wires
or anything else.
33)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the junction unit and the window wiper
motors with the water jet.
