IN AN EMERGENCY
People who find themselves in an emergency situa-
tion need immediate and concrete help.
The following pages have been written to help you if
the need arises.
As you will see, a host of little snags have been tak-
en into account and, for each of them, the measures
you yourself can take are suggested. If the problems are
more serious however, you should have the car seen
to at a Fiat Dealership.
With regard to this, we would like to remind you that,
in addition to the Owner Handbook, you have also been
provided with the WARRANTY BOOKLET where you
will find details of all the services Fiat can provide should
you find yourself in difficulty.
We nevertheless recommend you read these pages.
If in need you will be able to find the information you
require much more quickly.EMERGENCY START-UP ................................................. 84

IF A BULB
BURNS OUT
You should, where pos-
sible, have your bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealer-
ship. Correct operation of exter-
nal light beams are essential for
safe driving and compliance with
legal requirements.Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
– When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
– For the location of the fuses, re-
fer to “If a fuse blows” in this section.
– Before replacing a bulb that does
not work, check that the contacts are
not oxidised.
– Burnt out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
– Always check the height of the
headlight beam after changing a bulb
for safety purposes.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small fragments
of glass to be projected outwards.
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system car-
ried out incorrectly and without
bearing the features of the system
in mind can cause malfunctions
with the risk of fire.
