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

130

IN AN EMERGENCY

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.

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.

You should have the

bulbs replaced at a Fiat

Dealership. Always check

the height of the headlight beam

after changing a bulb.

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.
