CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it
operates if there is a fault or improper intervention in the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a device
does not work: the filament A-fig. 173 should be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
Cfuse with damaged filament.
To change a fuse, use the tweezer D located in the tool
box or the Fix&Go container (for versions/markets where
provided).
If the same fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse with metal
wires or other recycled material.
Do not replace one fuse with another of
greater amperage; FIRE HAZARD.
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Remove the key from the ignition and switch off
or disable all electrical devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
To identify the protective fuse, see the tables on the fol-
lowing pages.
If a general protection fuse for safety sys-
tems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered, contact a
Fiat Dealership.

Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without extract-
ing it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed, making it impossible to
turn the wheels.
WARNING
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Before tow-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is ful-
ly tightened in its appropriate housing.
Never start the engine when the vehicle is being
towed.
WARNING
Remember that, while being towed, you
will need to brake harder because there
will be no assistance from the brake booster. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and avoid jerking.
During towing operations, make sure that the fas-
tened joint does not damage adjoining compo-
nents. When towing the vehicle, comply with the
specific rules of the highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the car for short dis-
tances using an appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the ve-
hicle on the road in readiness for towing or trans-
porting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST
NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where
there are obstacles and/or for towing operations us-
ing cables or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the
above conditions, towing must take place with two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned as
much as possible along the same centre line.

INTERIORS
Check regularly that water is not trapped under the mats
(from dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause
the metal to rust.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. Also use
clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or altering the
transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heat-
ing device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
control unit on the left side of the engine compartment
(as you look from behind the wheel). Have this operation
performed at a specialist garage.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After
the wash, make sure that the various protective devices
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of
the front headlights.
Never use flammable products, such as pe-
troleum ether or modified petrol, to clean
the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during cleaning
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures of more than
50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the
temperature inside can greatly exceed this val-
ue.
