the engine, plug into the nearest sock-
et E-fig. 11and activate the compres-
sor by turning switch D-fig. 10to po-
sition I(on). Inflate the tyre to the
pressure specified in the “Inflation
pressure” paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” section. For a more accurate reading, check
pressure gauge F-fig. 10with the com-
pressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes you cannot reach at
least 1.5 bar, unplug the compressor
from the valve and the socket, then
move the car forward about ten metres
in order to distribute the sealant inside
the tyre evenly, then repeat the infla-
tion operation;
❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes,
do not resume driving because the tyre
is too damaged and the fast tyre repair
kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing.

ified in the “Inflation pressure” para-
graph in the “Technical specifications”
section, start driving immediately;

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”
paragraph in this section;
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for rusting;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and wattage;
❒for safety reasons, always check the di-
rection of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the
light may appear slightly misty: this does
not indicate a fault, and is actually caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drops inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet-type bulbs: to remove from
its holder, press the bulb in and turn
it anti-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
light emitted and even compromise the
longevity of the bulb itself. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the bulb
with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave
to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (ECUs)
that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system’s technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which may cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.
