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. 27must 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. 27F0R0122m
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.

proximately 24 hour is advised. Rapid bat-
tery charging with high currents could
damage the battery.

of sparks to avoid the risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Never attempt to recharge
a frozen batter y: defrost it
first to prevent the risk of explosion.
If a batter y was frozen,
have it in-
spected by specialised personnel be-
fore recharging to check that the in-
tern al elem ents are not damaged
and tha t the casing is not cracked
causing the risk of leakage of poiso-
nous, corrosive gas.
