HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. The head-
lights must be correctly directed to ensure
the best visibility conditions when the
headlights are on. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the headlights properly ad-
justed.
HEADLIGHT CORRECTOR
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on. The
car will slant backwards when it is loaded,
raising the light beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.

pose.The figures fig. 123-124 show how to

WHEN NEEDING TO
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
fuse blows” paragraph in this chapter
for fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers 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 pro-
vided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tight-
en 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 cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.
WARNING
Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with
a cloth and spirit and leave to dry.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after hard rain or after wash-
ing, the area of headlamps or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of con-
densation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in tem-
perature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does
not indicate a fault and does not compro-
mise the normal operation of lighting de-
vices. The mist disappears quickly turn-
ing the lights on, starting from the centre
of the diffuser, extending progressively to-
wards the edges.
