BULB REPLACEMENT
The fuses are also located under the dri-
ver’s side of the dashboard. Remove the
fuse box cover by pulling it off. The am-
perage of each fuse is shown on the top
of the fuse box cover.
Always be sure to replace a
blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct amperage. Never use a sub-
stitute such as aluminum foil or wire
to replace a blown fuse. If you re-
place a fuse and the new one blows
in a short period of time, you may
have a major electrical problem.
Have your vehicle inspected imme-
diately by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
65D046
OK
BLOWN
– Light bulbs can be hot
enough to burn your finger
right after being turned off. This is
true especially for halogen headlight
bulbs. Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
– The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or
dropped. Handle them carefully.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The oils from your skin may
cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb
with a clean cloth.
IMPORTANT Frequent replacement of a
bulb indicates the need for an inspection
of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your Fiat Dealership.CENTER INTERIOR LIGHT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Pull down the lens by using a plane screw
driver covered with a soft cloth as shown.
To install it, simply push it back in.
The bulb can be removed by simply pulling
it out. When replacing the bulb, make sure
that the contact springs are holding the
bulb securely.

IF THE ENGINE
OVERHEATS
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the en-
gine coolant temperature gauge indicates
overheating during driving:
❒Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
❒Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
❒Let the engine run at the normal idle
speed for a few minutes until the indi-
cator is within the normal, acceptable
temperature range between “H” and
“C”.
IF THE ENGINE IS
FLOODED
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine. (Do not operate the starter mo-
tor for more than 15 seconds).
If you see or hear escaping
steam, stop the vehicle in a
safe place and immediately turn off
the engine to let it cool. Do not open
the hood when steam is present.
When the steam can no longer be
seen or heard, open the hood to see
if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you
must wait until it stops boiling before
you proceed.
WARNING
IF THE STARTER DOES
NOT OPERATE
❒Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery
condition. If the headlights go exces-
sively dim or go off, it usually means
that either the battery is flat or the bat-
tery terminal contact is poor. Recharge
the battery or correct battery terminal
contact as necessary.
❒If the headlights remain bright, check
the fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the ve-
hicle inspected by your authorized
Fiat Dealership.
