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 im-
proper action on the system.
Check the efficiency of the corresponding
fuse when a device does not work: the
conducting element A-fig. 39must not be
interrupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse
with another with the same amperage
(same colour).
Bundamaged fuse
Cfuse with damaged filament.
fig. 39F0R0122m
Never replace a fuse with
another of higher amperage:
FIRE RISK.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse
with metallic wires or other
material.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if a
general protection fuse
blows (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE).
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition switch and switch off
all loads before replacing a fuse.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided as an example only.
You are recommended to go to a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation per-
formed.
Low amperage slow recharging for ap-
proximately 24 hour is advised. Rapid bat-
tery charging with high currents could
damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. The battery
recharging operation must be per-
formed in a ventilated placed away
from naked flames o possible sources
of sparks to avoid the risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge
a frozen battery: defrost it
first to prevent the risk of explosion.
If a battery was frozen, have it in-
spected by specialised personnel be-
fore recharging to check that the in-
ternal elements are not damaged
and that the casing is not cracked
causing the risk of leakage of poiso-
nous, corrosive gas.

LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Fiat Deal-
ership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Lift the car exclusively by positioning the
jack arms or the shop jack in the points
shown in the figure.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box under the boot
mat.
The front and rear tow hooks
should only be used on the
roads for emergency operations. Tow-
ing is permitted for short journies us-
ing the special device that conforms to
the highway code (rigid bar) to move
the vehicle onto the road in prepara-
tion for towing or transportation on
a special vehicle.
The hooks should NOT be used for re-
covering the vehicle away from the
road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing using cables or oth-
er non rigid devices. With regard to the
above conditions, towing should take
place with the two vehicles (the one
towing and the one being towed)
aligned as closely as possible along the
same centre line axis.
