Your vehicle is equipped with a battery
that requires infrequent maintenance. You
will never have to add water. You should,
however, periodically check the battery,
battery terminals and battery hold- down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.
The test indicator on the top of the bat-
tery provides information on the condi-
tion of the battery.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery
to help prevent discharge.
FUSES
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse and
individual fuses, and are for electrical load
groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for individual electrical cir-
cuits.
FUSES IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT
The main fuse, primary fuses and some of
the individual fuses are located in the en-
gine compartment. If the main fuse blows,
no electrical component will function. If
a primary fuse blows, no electrical com-
ponent in the corresponding load group
will function. When replacing the main
fuse, a primary fuse or an individual fuse,
use a genuine Fiat replacement.

OK
BLOWN
If the main fuse or a primary
fuse blows, be sure to have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership. Always use a
genuine Fiat replacement. Never use
a substitute such as a wire even for a
temporary repair, or extensive elec-
trical damage and a fire can result.
