WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
❒Stow the container C-fig. 12, com-
plete with tools in the boot;
❒Place the space-saver spare wheel B-
fig. 11in the space provided for the
purpose inside the boot and secure it
with the clamping device A-fig. 11.
fig. 12F0L0219m
Halogen bulbs must be hand-
led touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If tou-
ched accidentally, rub the bulb with a
cloth moistened with alcohol and allow
to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cau-
se malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.

TYPES OF BULBS fig. 13
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.
BBayonet type bulbs: press the bulb,
turn counterclockwise to remove
this type of bulb from its holder.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in

FGas-discharge bulbs (Xenon).
F0L0072mfig. 13
Due to high voltage, the bulb
of (Xenon) gas-discharge
headlights must only be replaced by
experts: danger of death! Contact
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tempe-
rature and the level of air humidity. It will
disappear as soon the headlights are tur-
ned on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights means water infiltration, the-
refore contact Fiat Dealership.
