blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct amperage. Never use a sub-
stitute such as aluminum foil or wire
to replace a blown fuse. If you re-
place a fuse and the new one blows

diately by your Fiat Dealership.

BLOWN
– Light bulbs can be hot
enough to burn your finger
right after being turned off. This is
true especially for halogen headlight
bulbs. Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
– The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or
dropped. Handle them carefully.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The oils from your skin may
cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb
with a clean cloth.
IMPORTANT Frequent replacement of a
bulb indicates the need for an inspection
of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your Fiat Dealership.

AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically.Operate the air conditioner at least once
a month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and
oil and helps protect the internal compo-
nents.
