CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rusting;
❒burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and wattage;
❒always check the direction of the beam after changing
a headlight bulb;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse” para-
graph in this section.
Changes or repairs to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly and without due
consideration for the technical specifications of
the system can lead to malfunctioning and gen-
erate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain pressurised gas. If
they break, glass fragments could fly every-
where.
WARNING
Touch only the metal part of a halogen
lamp. Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. If you do touch it accidental-
ly, rub the bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and
leave to dry.
If possible, we recommend that you let
a Fiat Dealership replace the bulbs. Prop-
er operation and orientation of the exter-
nal lights are essential for driving safety and com-
plying with the law.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may appear
slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is actually
caused by low temperature and the degree of humidity
in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the head-
lights are switched on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat Deal-
ership.
