WHEN NEEDING
TO CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation.
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power.
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
❒ When a bulb is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse
blows” paragraph in this section for the
location of fuses.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault. It is a natur-
al event caused by the low temperature
and the degree of humidity in the air. It will
rapidly disappear when the headlights are
switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates infiltration of wa-
ter. Go to a Fiat Dealership.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system that are
not carried out properly or do not
take the system technical specifica-
tions into account can cause mal-
functions 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.
WARNING
Halogen lamps 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
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp. In case of acciden-
tal contact, rub the lamp with a cloth
and spirit and leave to dry.
If possible, we recommend
that you let the Fiat Dealer-
ship replace the bulbs. Prop-
er operation and orientation
of the external lights are essential for
the safety of the running vehicle, and
for avoiding legal sanctions.
