Fiat Barchetta Owner's Handbook Manual - If A Bulb

IF A BULB 

BURNS OUT 

You should, where pos-

sible, have your bulbs

changed at a Fiat Dealer-

ship. Correct operation of exter-

nal light beams are essential for

safe driving and compliance with

legal requirements.

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.

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 section.

– 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

for safety purposes.

Halogen bulbs contain

pressurised gas which, if

broken, may cause small fragments

of glass to be projected outwards.

WARNING

Modifications or repairs to

the electrical system car-

ried out incorrectly and without

bearing the features of the system

in mind can cause malfunctions

with the risk of fire.
