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.

described only for information purposes. This
operation should be carried out by Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at low amp rating for 24
hours. Charging for a longer time may damage the
battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;❒connect the charger cables to the battery
terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charger off before
disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
WARNING If the vehicle is fitted with alarm system,
turn it off with the remote control (see “Alarm” in the
“Dashboard and controls” chapter).
WARNINGThe liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Do not let it touch the skin or
eyes. Recharging the battery should be done in a well ventilated area away from
naked flames or possible sources of sparks: explosion and fire risk.
WARNINGDo not attempt to recharge a frozen battery. Thaw it first, otherwise it could
explode. If the battery froze, make sure the internal elements are not broken
(short-circuit risk) and that the casing is not cracked (risk of spilling the poisonous
