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 fu-
se 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 head-
light beam after changing a bulb. Versions with alloy rims
❒Check that the hub contact surfaces
are clean;
❒fit the normal wheel centring it on the
pins, lead in the fastening screws and
tighten them using the wrench provi-
ded;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tigh-
ten the bolts in the sequence shown
in fig. 16.
❒snap fit the wheel cup on the hub.
When you have finished
❒stow the spare wheel C-fig. 11 in the
space provided in the boot;
❒Fit the jack partially open in its box B-
fig. 11forcing it lightly to prevent it
from vibrating when travelling;
❒put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒arrange the container and tools in the
spare wheel and secure the fastening
device A-fig. 11;
❒rearrange the preformed boot cover
correctly.
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 may cau-
se small fragments of glass to be
projected outwards if the bulb is
broken.
WARNING
Halogen lamps must be hand-
led holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpa-
rent part of the bulb with
your fingers may reduce the intensity
of the emitted light and even compro-
mise duration of the lamp itself. In the
case of accidental contact, rub the
lamp with a cloth and spirit and leave
to dry.IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault and is cau-
sed by low temperature and the degree of
humidity in the air. Misting will rapidly di-
sappear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drops inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
