Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metal-
lic part only. Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the intensity
of the light emitted and even compromise the longevity
of the bulb itself. In the event of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave to dry.
Modifications or repairs to the electrical system
(electronic control units) that are not carried out
properly or do not take the technical specifications
of the system into account can cause malfunctions lead-
ing to the risk of fire.
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which may
cause small fragments of glass to be projected out-
wards if the bulb is broken.
Due to the high power supply voltage, gas dis-
charge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be replaced
by specialised personnel: danger of death! Contact
Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after heavy rain
or after washing, the surface of headlights or rear lights, may steam
up and/or form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a nat-
ural phenomenon due to the difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the glass which does not
indicate a fault and does not compromise the normal operation of
lighting devices. The mist disappears quickly turning the lights on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending progressively
towards the edges.
CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❍blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same type
and power:
❍after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its alignment;
❍when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse
is intact before changing the bulb. For the location of fuses, re-
fer to the “Changing a fuse” paragraph in this section.

CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event of a
fault/intervention in the system. Check the state of the corre-
sponding fuse when a device does not work: the filament A-fig.
150 must be intact.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new one with the same am-
perage (same colour).
B = intact fuse.
C = fuse with damaged filament.

Use the pliers A-fig. 151 under the engine compartment fusebox
lid to remove the fuses (see “Engine compartment fusebox” for
how to remove the lid).

If you have to wash the engine compart-
ment, take care not to aim the jet of wa-
ter directly at the fuse box or windscreen
wiper motors.
FUSE LOCATION
Fuses are grouped together in three fuseboxes located in the engine compartment, on the dashboard and inside the boot.
Engine compartment fusebox fig. 153
This is located by the side of the battery: loosen the screws A-fig. 152 and remove the lid B to access the fuses. The number of the
electrical component corresponding to each fuse can be found on the back of the cover. After replacing the fuse, make sure you close
cover B on the fusebox.
