CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒
Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒
burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same type
and power;
❒
always check the headlight beam aiming after changing
a bulb;
❒
when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “Replacing fus-
es” in this chapter.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure;
if they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.
WARNING
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch
the metal part. If the transparent bulb is
touched with the fingers, its lighting inten-
sity is reduced and life of the bulb may be com-
promised. In the event of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slight-
ly misted: this should not be considered irregular rather
a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and the air
humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as the head-
lights are turned on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealership. The correct
operation and aiming of the outer lights are
absolutely important to the safety of the car and
its passengers and the subject of specific laws about
road traffic.
