90IN AN EMERGENCY
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
For location of 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.
Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.

IMPORTANTOn the inside sur-
face of the headlight there could ap-
pear a slight coat of fogging; this does
not show a defect, since it is a natural
occurrence due to low temperature
and to the degree of humidity in the
air; it will soon disappear as soon as
the lights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlight shows
water seepage, refer to the Fiat
Dealership.
