– Fit a new bulb, making the tab of the
metal part coincide with the one on the lamp
unit, then hook the bulb holder catch (B).
– Re-connect the electric connector (A).
– Refit the protective cover correctly.Fog lights(fig. 24)
IMPORTANTWhen needing to change
the left bulb, the side trim next to the light
itself needs to be removed to facilitate ac-
cess to the engine compartment.
To change the bulb, proceed as follows:
– Remove the protective cover turning
counter-clockwise.
– Disconnect the electric connector (A).
– Release the bulb catch (B).
– Remove the bulb and replace it.

After replacement, refit
the covers correctly check-
ing that they are properly
secured.
IMPORTANTA slight layer of steam
(fogging) can appear on the inside surface
of the beam transparent cover: this is not
a defect. The presence of condensate traces
in beams is a natural phenomenon, due to
a low temperature and to the degree of hu-
midity in the air. These traces will disappear
when the beams are turned on. Drops of wa-
ter inside the headlight indicate instead wa-
ter infiltration: contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services.

IN THE EVENT OF A BLOWN FUSE
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the elec-
tric system: it comes into action (i.e. it cuts
off) mainly due to a fault or improper action
on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse. The conductor ele-
ment(A-fig. 49) must be intact; if not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).(B) - Undamaged fuse
(C) - Fuse with damaged filament.
Remove the blown fuse using the pincer
provided (D), in the control box.
fig. 49
A0A0185b
Never replace a fuse with
metal wires or anything
else. Always use an intact
fuse of the same colour.
Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
If a general fuse (MAXI-
FUSE or MEGA-FUSE) cuts
in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Services.
Before replacing a fuse,
make sure the ignition key
has been removed and that
all the other services are switched
off and/or disengaged.
If a fuse blows again,
contact an Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Service.

IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT BATTERY
Before anything else, you are advised to
read the precautions for preventing the bat-
tery from draining and for ensuring long life
in the “car maintenance” chapter.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
IMPORTANTThe battery charging pro-
cedure is described only for information pur-
poses. This operation should be carried out
by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
Charging should be slow at a low amp rat-
ing for 24 hours. Charging for a longer time
may damage the battery.Charge the battery as follows:
– Disconnect the battery negative termi-
nal (–).
– Connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminal ensuring that the bias is cor-
rect.
– Turn on the charger.
– After charging, turn off the charger be-
fore disconnecting it from the battery.
– Re-connect the battery negative termi-
nal (–).The liquid contained in the
battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact
with the skin or eyes. The battery
should be charged in a well venti-
lated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and
fire.
Do not attempt to charge
a frozen battery: it must
firstly be thawed, other-
wise it may burst. If freezing has
occurred, the battery should be
checked by skilled personnel to
make sure that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that
the body is not cracked, with the
risk of leaking poisonous and cor-
rosive acid.
