Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
that are not carried out
correctly or do not take the
system’s technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas. Glass
shards may be projected if a
bulb breaks.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs must be
handled by holding the
metal part only. If the
transparent bulb is touched with
the fingers, its lighting intensity
is reduced and life of the bulb
may be compromised. 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
exterior lights are absolutely
essential for the driving in safety
and compliance with law.
– Burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and
power.
– Always check the direction of the
beam after changing a headlight
bulb, for reasons of safety.
