IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
Fuses are protective devices for the elec-
tric system: they come into action (i.e. cut
off) mainly due to a fault or improper ac-
tion on the system.
When a specific device does not work cor-
rectly, check the efficiency of the corre-
sponding fuse. The conducting element
A- fig. 46must not be interrupted.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new
one having the same amperage (same
colour).
Bintact fuse.
Cfuse with broken conducting element.
To replace the fuse use the extractor D
positioned inside the tool box or the Fix
& Go kit container (for versions/markets,
where provided).
If the fuse blows out again,
contact the Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with
another one having higher
amperage: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
trips (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE), contact the Fiat Dealership.
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.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse
with metal wires or other ma-
terial.
