Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
that are not carried out
correctly or do not take the
system’s technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to
the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas. Glass
shards may be projected if a
bulb breaks.

is reduced and life of the bulb
may be compromised. In the

moistened with alcohol and let
the bulb dry.

advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Fiat
Dealership. The correct
operation and direction of the
