CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check the
correct alignment of the light beam;
❒when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metal 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.Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership.The
correct operation and direction of the
external lights are absolutely essential for the
safety of the car and of compliance with the law.
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 centre of the
diffuser, extending progressively towards the edges.
