CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒

When a bulb is not working, check that

the corresponding fuse is intact before

replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse

blows” paragraph in this chapter for

fuse location.

❒

before changing a bulb check the con-

tacts 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 reasons

of safety.

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 hu-

midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-

appear when the headlights are switched

on. The presence of drop 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:

A All glass bulb: clipped into place. Pull

to extract.

B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this type

of bulb from its holder, press the

bulb and turn it anticlockwise.

C Cylindrical bulbs: release from the

contacts to extract.

D-E Halogen bulbs: release the fastening

clip from the corresponding seat to

remove the lamp.

Halogen lamps must be han-

dled holding the metallic part

only. Touching the transparent

part of the bulb with your fin-

gers may reduce the intensity of the

emitted light and even compromise du-

ration of the lamp itself. In the case of

accidental contact, rub the lamp with a

cloth and spirit and leave to dry.

Modifications or repairs to

the electrical system (elec-

tronic control units) that are not car-

ried out properly or do not take the

technical specifications of the system

into account can cause malfunctions

leading to the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain pres-

surised gas which, if broken,

may cause small fragments of glass to

be projected outwards.
