CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action if
there is a fault or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse
when a device does not work: the filament
A-fig. 34 must be intact. If it is not, re-
place the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse fig. 34
C fuse with damaged filament fig. 34.
fig. 34F0M0236m
Do not replace one fuse with
another of greater amper-
age; FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse
with metal wires or other
recycled material.
If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE) is activated, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the same fuse blows again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition and switch off or dis-
connect all devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
