CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒ after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its
alignment;
❒ 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;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst .
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
dr y.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.

REPLACING FUSESINTRODUCTION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene
(blow) in the event of a failure or improper
intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition
of its protective fuse: the conductor element A
fig. 164 must be intact. If it is not, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same
colour).
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D
hooked inside the fuse box lid on the dashboard
left-hand side.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify
the protective fuse.
