the engine, plug into the nearest sock-
et E-fig. 11and operate the compres-
sor turning switch D-fig. 10to position
I(on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the “Inflation pressure”
paragraph, “Technical Specifications”
chapter. For a more accurate reading, check
pressure gauge F-fig. 10with the
compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the seal-
ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-
peat the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still impossi-
ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8
bar, do not start driving since the tyre
is excessively damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-
able sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”, start
driving immediately;

lows:
❒release connection A-fig. 14;
❒turn anticlockwise the cylinder to re-
place and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse
blows” paragraph in this chapter for
fuse location.
❒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 headlight
beam after changing a bulb, for reasons
of safety.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drop inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:AAll glass bulb: clipped into place. Pull
to extract.
BBayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
CCylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-EHalogen bulbs: release the fastening
clip from the corresponding seat to
remove the lamp. Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transparent
part of the bulb with your fin-
gers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with a
cloth and spirit and leave to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
