Fiat Punto: General instructions

Fiat Punto Owners Manual

• 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 “If a fuse blows” in this section;

• 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 height of the headlight beam after changing a bulb.

Halogen bulbs must be handled touching only the metallic part. If the transparent bulb is touched with the fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and life of the bulb may be compromised. If touched accidentally, rub the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.

Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of breakage they may burst.

Alterations or repairs to the electric system not carried out correctly and without taking into account of the system specifications may cause failures and the risk of fire.

Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs changed c/o Fiat Dealership. The correct operation and aiming of the outer lights are vital to safety of the car and its passengers and the subject of specific laws.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular but a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as the headlights are turned on. Drops inside the headlight mean water infiltration: contact Fiat Dealership.
