PROLONGED
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for longer than one month, the following
precautions must be taken:
park the vehicle indoors in a dry
and, if possible, well-ventilated place;
engage a gear;
check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
disconnect the negative battery
terminal; if the vehicle is equipped with
a battery disconnection function
(disconnector), see the description of
the procedure in the "Controls"
paragraph in the "Dashboard and
controls" section;
clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
available commercially;
sprinkle talcum powder on the
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the
glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the vehicle with a piece of
fabric or perforated plastic sheet. Do
not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the
vehicle;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard specified pressure and check
it at intervals;
do not drain the engine cooling
system.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is equipped
with an alarm system, switch off the
vehicle alarm with the remote control.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
key is in the STOP position and the
driver side door is closed.

REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
139) 140)
46)
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
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.
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 headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature
and the degree of humidity in the air.
Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights
indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
139)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.
140)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
WARNING
46)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 the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
