CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
❒before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power;
❒always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb for safety reasons. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 177 to release the replacement
part;
❒fit the new cylinder and press until it is automatically
engaged.
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 light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol and let
it dry.

Changes or repairs to the electrical
system (electric control units) carried
out incorrectly and without due consideration
for the technical specifications of the system
can lead to malfunctioning and generate a fire
hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain gas under
pressure. Their breaking can cause
scattering of glass fragments.
WARNING
C Tubular bulbs: release them from their contacts to
remove.
D-E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb, release the clip
holding the bulb in place.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be
slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular
rather a natural phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon
as the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops
inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
