IF A BULB BURNS OUT
Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
You should have the
bulbs replaced at a Fiat
Dealership. The correct
operation and direction of the
headlights is essential for safety
and is governed by the highway
code.Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing the
bulb.
For the location of the fuses, refer to
“If a fuse blows” in this chapter.
Before replacing a bulb that does not
work, check that the contacts are not
oxidised.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.
Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type. Bulbs with
low power offer low illumination,
bulbs with too much power absorb
too much energy.
Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
TYPES OF BULBS
Several types of bulbs are installed in
the car
fig. 12:
A. Glass bulbs
Clipped into position. Pull to remove.
B. Bayonet connection bulbs
Remove from the bulb holder by
pressing the bulb and rotating it anti-
clockwise.
C. Cylindrical bulbs
Remove by pulling away from termi-
nals.
D-E. Halogen bulbs
To remove bulb, loosen the fixing
spring from the relevant seat.
