CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒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;
❒before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power;
❒always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb for safety reasons. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 177 to release the replacement
part;
❒fit the new cylinder and press until it is automatically
engaged.
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 light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol and let
it dry.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the filament A-fig. 204 must be
intact. If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another
with the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse;
C fuse with damaged filament.
Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other recovered material.
Never replace a fuse with another of
higher amp rating; FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) is
blown, contact a Fiat Dealership. Before
replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key
has been removed and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disengaged.
WARNING
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
