WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
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;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
Only touch the metal part when handling halogen bulbs. If the transparent bulb is touched it
reduces the intesity of the light emitted and can also reduce the life of the bulb. If you touch the
bulb accidentally, rub it with a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.
WARNING
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.WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which, if broken, may cause small fragments
of glass to be projected outwards.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface may be lightly misted over: this
is not a fault but a natural fact due to low temperature and the level of
air humidity. It will disappear as soon the headlights are turned on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.

remove this type of bulb from its holder.
