2012 FIAT BRAVO headlight bulb

HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the headlights is essential
for the comfort and safety of the driver and other
road users. The headlights must be correctly
directed to ensure the best visibility. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the headlights checked and
adjusted.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
bulbs (for versions/markets, where provided) are
switched on, normally parabolas and light beam
move vertically for about 2 seconds until headlight
alignment has stabilised.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR-ON position and the dipped headlights on.
The car will tilt backwards when it is loaded, raising
the light beam. The beams must therefore be
realigned in this case.
Adjusting headlights alignment
Press buttons A and B fig. 102 on the central trim;
gas discharge headlights (Xenon) are electronically
adjusted and therefore the buttons A and B are not
present.
Press button A to increase the light beam of one
position. Press button B to decrease the light beam
of one position.Displays C in the instrument panel provide a visual
indication of the positions during adjustment.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 -
one or two occupants in the front
seats.
Position 1 -
five people
Position 2
five people with a load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3
driver + maximum permitted load
stowed in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment of the light
beams each time the weight of the load transported
changes.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights
checked and adjusted, if necessary.

CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect coupling B fig. 156;
❒turn the cylinder to be replaced anticlockwise
and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clockwise;
❒connect coupling B to the cylinder and fit
transparent pipe A in the specific compartment.

Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only.Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted
light and even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In
case of accidental contact , wipe the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.If possible, we recommend have bulbs
replaced by a Fiat Dealership.The
correct operation and aiming of the
outer lights are absolutely essential for the
safety of the car and of compliance with law.Due to the high supply voltage, gas
discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) (for
versions/markets, where provided) must
only be replaced by a specialist technician:
danger of death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the surface of
headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or form
drops of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural 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 when the lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending progressively
towards the edges.
