IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
Fuses are protective devices for the elec-
tric system: they come into action (i.e. cut
off) mainly due to a fault or improper ac-
tion on the system.
When a specific device does not work cor-
rectly, check the efficiency of the corre-
sponding fuse. The conducting element
A- fig. 46must not be interrupted.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new
one having the same amperage (same
colour).
Bintact fuse.
Cfuse with broken conducting element.
To replace the fuse use the extractor D
positioned inside the tool box or the Fix
& Go kit container (where provided).
If the fuse blows out again,
contact the Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with
another one having higher
amperage: FIRE HAZARD.
If a general protection fuse trips
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE), contact
the Fiat Dealership.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch and switch off all points of use
before replacing a fuse.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse
with metal wires or other ma-
terial.

bles in the following pages.

IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS
TO BE TOWED
The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is
positioned in the tool box behind the left-
hand side backrest (on Cargo versions) or
in the boot (on Combi versions).
HOOKING THE TOW
HOOK fig. 54-55
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow hook Bfrom the tool box;
❒tighten the hook on the rear or front
threaded pin.
fig. 54F0T0085m
fig. 55F0T0086m
Before starting towing oper-
ations, turn the ignition key
to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted,
the steering wheel lock will be auto-
matically activated, thus preventing
steering.
WARNING
During towing operations the
brake booster is not engaged.
Therefore, a heavier effort must be
made on the pedal. Do not use wires for
towing. Do not jerk. During towing op-
erations make sure not to damage parts
in contact with the vehicle. When tow-
ing the vehicle comply with the specific
rules of the Highway Code regarding the
towing device and the behaviour to
maintain on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the vehicle.
WARNING
Clean the threaded seat care-
fully before fastening the ring.
Make sure that the ring is fully fastened
in the seat before towing the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
Batteries contain substances
that can be very dangerous
for the environment. It is ad-
visable to have the battery re-
placed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of according to the
law.
Whenever an operation on
the battery or near it is re-
quired, always protect your eyes with
special goggles.
WARNING
If the vehicle remains unused
for a long time at very low
temperatures, remove the
battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE
TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make
its life longer, observe the following indi-
cations:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒switch off all lights inside the vehicle: the
vehicle is however equipped with a sys-
tem which switches all internal lights off
automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, emergnecy lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine is
not running;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.The battery is also more prone to the risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C). Refer
to the paragraph “Vehicle inactivity” in
“Starting and driving” if the vehicle is left
parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact the Fiat Dealership whose quali-
fied personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking
whether the vehicle electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery.
