CHANGING A BULB GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒
When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”
paragraph in this section;
❒
before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for rusting;
❒
burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and wattage;
❒
for safety reasons, always check the di-
rection of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
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 hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drops inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet-type bulbs: to remove from
its holder, press the bulb in and turn
it anti-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs 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
light emitted and even compromise the
longevity of the bulb itself. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the bulb
with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave
to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (ECUs)
that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system’s technical
specifications 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.

DEMANDING USE
OF THE CARShould the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒
frequently idling engine or long-dis-
tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒
check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒
visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒
check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte);
❒
visually inspect the condition of the ac-
cessory drive belts;
❒
check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒
check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions.
❒
operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-

AND CARE
Standard upkeep of the paintwork consists
of washing the vehicle: the frequency de-
pends on the conditions and environment
where the vehicle is used. For example, it
is advisable to wash the car more often in
areas with high atmospheric pollution or
on gritted roads.
To wash the car properly, proceed as fol-
lows:❒
if taking your car through an automat-
ic car wash, remove the aerial from the
roof;
❒
wash the body using a low-pressure jet
of water;
❒
use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
❒
rinse with plenty of water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Take particular care when drying the less
visible parts, such as the door, bonnet and
headlight frames, where water can stagnate
more easily. It is a good idea to leave the
car in the open for a while after washing
it to give time for the water to evaporate.Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substances that fall off many
species give the paint a dull appearance
and increase the possibility of triggering
rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
Detergents pollute water. The
vehicle should be washed only
in areas equipped for collect-
ing and purifying the liquids
used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the win-
dows.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
gently with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thor-
oughly at the end of every winter. Be care-
ful not to direct the jet of water onto elec-
tronic control units. Adequately protect
the upper air vents to prevent damage to
the windscreen wiper motor. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT Washing should take place
with a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the wash, make sure that
the various protective devices (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g. ace-
tone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the
front headlights.
