2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo fuse

Incorrect use of the electric windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check
that no passenger is at risk of being injured directly
by the moving window or by objects getting caught in or
dragged by the window. When leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition to prevent accidental operation of the
electric windows from being a hazard for those still on board.
Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after disconnecting the battery or if
the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❒fully close the window to initialise with manual operation;
❒after the window has reached the upper end of travel, hold down
the closing control for at least 1 second.
For versions/markets where provided, after a break in power supply
for the control units (battery replaced or disconnected or protective
fuses for the electric window control units replaced), the automatic
operation of the windows must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be performed as described below with
the doors closed:
❒completely open the driver's door window, holding the operating
button down for at least three seconds after the (lower) end of travel
position;
❒completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down
for at least 3 seconds once the (upper) end of travel position has
been reached;❒proceed in the same way as described in points 1 and 2 for the
passenger side door;
❒make sure that the initialisation is correct by checking that the
windows work automatically.
IMPORTANT With the central locking on, pulling the internal opening
lever for one of the doors switches the locking off for all the doors.
In the absence of electrical power supply (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is still possible to lock the doors manually. In this
case, the automatic lowering function of the windows is not available.
Press the window towards the inside of the car (see fig. 60) to open
or close the door with the window raised to ease the passage of the
window into the moulding.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same type and
power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is
intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to
the paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this section.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metal part
only. Touching the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted light and
even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are
not carried out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which may
cause small fragments of glass to be projected
outwards if the bulb is broken.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after heavy rain or
washing, the surface of headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or
form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of the glass which does not indicate
a fault and does not compromise the normal operation of lighting
devices. The mist disappears quickly when the lights are turned on,
starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending progressively towards
the edges.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATIONFuses protect the electrical system: they intervene (blow) in the event of
a failure or improper intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition of its protective
fuse: the conductor element A fig. 149 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with the same
amperage (same colour).
B = undamaged fuse.
C = fuse with damaged filament.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services should the
fuse blow again.Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.Remove the key from the ignition switch and switch off
all loads before replacing a fuse.Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services if a safety
system (air bags, brakes), engine system (engine,
gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
