Glove box lamp
Have the glove box lamp bulb replaced
at a Fiat dealership.
WARNING
350)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
351)Only replace the bulb when the
engine is off and the vehicle is in a safe
position that does not cause danger to the
traffic and allows for a safe replacement.
Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.352)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas; in the case of breakage they may
burst.
353)Bulbs are extremely hot immediately
after being turned off. When replacing a
bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before
touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.
354)Handle halogen lamp bulb with care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulb is highly
pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
355)Never hold the halogen lamp bulb
with a bare hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil
from your hand could cause the bulb to
break the next time the headlamps are
operated fig. 0 fig. 423. If the glass surface
is dirty, it must be cleaned with alcohol,
paint thinner, etc., and refit it after drying it
thoroughly.
356)Always consult a specialist when
repairing or replacing the bulbs of high
intensity discharge headlamps. This is
because the power circuit, bulbs and
electrodes generate a high voltage that
could cause an electric shock.
357)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.
358)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
359)Do not install commercially available
LED-type bulbs. Commercially available
LED-type bulbs could adversely affect the
operation of the vehicle, such as by
preventing the lamps and other vehicle
equipment from operating properly.

360)When replacing a bulb, be sure to use
a new bulb of the same type, wattage, and
colour. If you install a different bulb, the
bulb could malfunction or fail to come on
and could lead to a vehicle fire.
361)Check with an authorised Fiat
dealership when it is necessary to repair a
high intensity discharge headlamp or to
replace the bulb. High voltage is generated
in the high intensity discharge headlamp
bulb and electrodes, which may cause a
severe shock when the bulb and connector
are removed or disconnected.

Adequate care of your vehicle at regular
intervals serves to preserve the value
and appearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this
owner’s manual can be performed by
the owner.
We recommend you to have the
periodic inspection and maintenance
performed by a Fiat Dealership.
In the event a malfunction or a problem
is discovered, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired. This
section contains information on
inspection maintenance procedures
that you can do yourself. Follow the
instructions and cautions for each of
the various procedures.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The customer can have servicing done
outside the authorised Fiat Dealership
without losing the warranty in force. The
warranty depends on carrying out the
scheduled servicing constantly, as
described in this Owner Handbook.
The customer can choose to have the
above mentioned servicing, and any
other repairs covered by the warranty,
carried out by any workshop (within or
outside the Fiat Dealership), as long as
it has suitable means and follows the
instructions described in this Owner
Handbook.
WARNING
362)When checking or servicing the inside
of the engine compartment, make sure the
engine is switched off and has had a
chance to cool down.
363)If it is necessary to do work in the
engine compartment with the engine
running, be especially careful that your
clothing, hair, etc., does not become
caught by the cooling fan, drive belts, or
other moving parts.
364)After performing the maintenance
work, make sure that no tools or cloths are
left behind in the engine compartment. If
they are left behind, a fire or damage to the
vehicle may occur.
365)The cooling fan can turn on
automatically even if the engine is not
running. Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in OFF
to be safe while you work in the engine
compartment.
366)Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow
open flames around fuel or battery. The
fumes are flammable.
367)Be extremely cautious when working
around the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulphuric acid.
368)Do not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.
369)Improper handling of components
and materials used in the vehicle can
endanger your personal safety. We
recommend you to consult a specialist for
necessary information.
