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

A. Glass bulbs

B. Bayonet connection bulbs

clockwise.
C. Cylindrical bulbs
Remove by pulling away from termi-
nals.
D-E. Halogen bulbs

spring from the relevant seat.

IF A FUSE BLOWS
REPLACING THE FUSES
If an electrical device is not working,
check whether the respective fuse is
blown
fig. 31.
A- Undamaged fuse.
B- Fuse with broken filament.
Replace broken filament fuse with
undamaged fuse.
Before changing a fuse,
check the ignition key has
been removed and that
all the other electric devices have
been turned off/disabled.
Never change a fuse
with another amperage:
fire risk.
If the problem occurs
again, have the car in-
spected at a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
