IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it comes into
action (i.e. it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or improper action on the
system.
If an electric device is not working, check the efficiency of its fuse. The
conductor element (A) must be intact; if not, replace the fuse with one of
the same amp rating (same colour).
(B): Undamaged fuse
(C): Fuse with broken filament.
Remove the blown fuse using the pincer (D) provided in the control box
on the dashboard.
Never replace a broken fuse with anything other than a new fuse.
WARNING
WARNINGIf a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt
any repair and contact Fiat Dealership. Before changing a fuse, check the ignition
key has been removed and that all the other electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.
If the fuse blows again, have the car inspected at Fiat Dealership.
WARNINGNever change a fuse with another with a higher amp rating, DANGER OF FIRE.
