INDEXCHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rusting;
❒burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and wattage;
❒always check the direction of the beam after changing
a headlight bulb;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For
the location of fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”
paragraph in this section.
Changes or repairs to the electrical sys-
tem carried out incorrectly and without
due consideration for the technical specifications
of the system can lead to malfunctioning and gen-
erate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain pressurised gas.
If they break, glass fragments could fly
everywhere.
WARNING
Touch only the metal part of a halogen
lamp. Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. If you do touch it accidental-
ly, rub the bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and
leave to dry.
If possible, we recommend that you let
a Fiat Dealership replace the bulbs. Prop-
er operation and orientation of the exter-
nal lights are essential for driving safety and com-
plying with the law.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may ap-
pear slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is
actually caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat
Dealership.
