If A Bulb Burns Out - Fiat Doblo Owner's Handbook Manual

IF A BULB BURNS OUT

Modifications or repairs
to the electrical system
carried out incorrectly
and without bearing the features
of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
You should have the
bulbs replaced at a Fiat
Dealership. Always check
the height of the headlight beam
after changing a bulb.

IN AN EMERGENCY
Only touch the metal
part when handling halo-
gen bulbs. If the transpar-
ent bulb is touched it reduces the
intensity of the light emitted and
can also reduce the life of the
bulb. If you touch the bulb acci-
dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol and leave it to
dry.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
– When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
– For the location of the fuses, re-
fer to "If a fuse blows" in this chap-
ter.
– Before replacing a bulb that does
not work, check that the contacts are
not oxidised.
– Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
– Always check the height of the
headlight beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface may be lightly misted over: this
is not a fault but a natural fact due to
low temperature and the level of air
humidity. It will disappear as soon the
headlights are turned on. The pres-
ence of drops inside the headlights
means water infiltration, therefore
contact Fiat Dealership.
