NOTE the weather is cold or damp or
after heavy rain or after washing, the
surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This
is a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate
a fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when
the lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the vent, extending
progressively towards the edges.
IMPORTANT

holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
44) Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership. The
correct operation and direction of the
external lights are absolutely essential for
