1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn
off the electrical circuit concerned and
place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the
inside of the fuse block in the engine
compartment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity
table, check the fuse pertaining to the
problem.B. Fuse is OK
C. Blown fuse
NOTE If any system does not function
but the fuse corresponding to that
system is normal, there may be a fault
in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle
checked.
4. Insert a new fuse of the same
capacity by using the fuse puller into
the same place at the fuse block.
WARNING
344)Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF
FIRE. If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is activated,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
345)If the newly inserted fuse blows again
after a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
346)Never use a fuse with a larger
capacity than specified or a substitute
(such as a cable or foil). Doing so could
cause the circuit wires to overheat and
create a fire.
347)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
348)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been removed and
that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
349)If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
182)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box and the window wiper motor
with the water jet

REPLACEMENT OF
LAMP BULBS
350) 351) 352) 353) 354) 355) 356) 357) 358) 359) 360)
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the
lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part
of the new bulb with your bare fingers;
the skin oil left on the glass will
evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
NOTE If you are unsure of how to carry
out the work as required, we
recommend you to consult a specialist.
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle
body when removing a lamp and lens.
When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy.This is the same phenomenon as when
window glass mists up on a humid day,
and does not indicate a functional
problem. When the lamp is switched
on, the heat will remove the fog.
However, if water gathers inside the
lamp, we recommend you to have the
lamp checked.
Bulb location and capacity
When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a
new bulb of the same type, wattage,
and colour. If you install a different bulb,
the bulb could malfunction or fail to
come on and could lead to a vehicle
fire.

CLEANING THE
INTERIOR OF YOUR
VEHICLE
After cleaning the interior of your vehicle
with water, cleaner or similar, wipe and
dry in a shady, well-ventilated area.
NOTE If your vehicle has the demister
heater element of the rear window, to
clean the inside of the rear window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the
window glass along the demister heater
element so as not to cause damage.
400) 401)

Plastic, fabric and flocked parts
1. Lightly wipe these off with a soft
cloth soaked in a mild soap and water
solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it
out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the
detergent thoroughly.
NOTE Do not use cleaners,
conditioners, and protectants
containing silicones or wax. Such
products, when applied to the
instrument panels or other parts, may
cause reflections on the windscreen
and obscure vision. Also, if such
products get on the switches of the
electrical accessories, it may lead to
failure of these accessories.Upholstery
1. To maintain the value of your new
vehicle, handle the upholstery carefully
and keep the interior clean. Use a
vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the
seats. If stained, synthetic leather
should be cleaned with an appropriate
cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned
with either upholstery cleaner or a mild
soap and water solution.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum
cleaner and remove any stains with
carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a clean
colourfast cloth and stain remover.
Genuine leather (where provided)
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with
a soft cloth soaked in a mild soap and
water solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it
out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the
detergent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTE If genuine leather is wet with
water or is washed in water, wipe off
water as quickly as possible with a dry,
soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may
grow.
NOTE Organic solvents such as
benzine, kerosene, alcohol and petrol,
acid or alkaline solvents may discolour
the genuine leather surface. Be sure to
use neutral detergents.NOTE Remove oil substances quickly
as they can stain genuine leather.
NOTE The genuine leather surface may
harden and shrink if it is exposed to
direct rays of the sun for long hours.
When your vehicle is parked, place it in
the shade as much as possible.
NOTE When the temperature of the
vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the genuine leather
seat may deteriorate and stick to the
seat.
WARNING
400)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
401)Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.
266
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Doing so could cause stains or damage
the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois leather. If a
car wax adheres on a grey or black
rough surface of the bumper, moulding
or lamps, the surface becomes white.
In such a case, wipe it off using
lukewarm water and soft cloth or
chamois leather.
212) 213)
Chrome parts
In order to prevent spots and corrosion
of chrome parts, wash with water, dry
thoroughly, and apply a special
protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels (if so equipped)
Remove dirt using a sponge while
sprinkling water on the wheel.Use
neutral detergent on any dirt that
cannot be removed easily with
water. Rinse off the neutral
detergent after washing the
wheel.Dry the wheel thoroughly
using a chamois leather or a soft
cloth.
214) 215) 216) 217)
Window glass
The window glass can normally be
cleaned using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to removeoil, grease, insect carcasses, etc. After
washing the glass, wipe it dry with a
clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth
that is used for cleaning a painted
surface to clean a window. Wax from
the painted surface could get on the
glass and lower glass transparency and
visibility.
NOTE To clean the inside of the rear
window, always use a soft cloth and
wipe the window glass along the
demister heater element so as not to
cause damage.
Wiper blades
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to
remove grease, insect carcasses, etc.,
from the wiper blades. Replace the
wiper blades when they no longer wipe
properly.
Engine compartment
Clean the engine compartment at the
beginning and end of winter. Pay
particular attention to flanges, crevices
and peripheral parts where dust
containing road chemicals and other
corrosive materials might collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on
the roads in your area, clean the engine
compartment at least every three
months.
Never spray or splash water on the
electrical components in the engine
compartment, as this may cause
damage.Do not bring the nearby parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact
with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte)
which may crack, stain or discolour
them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an
aqueous solution of neutral detergent
then immediately rinse the affected
parts with plenty of water.
Versions with tonneau cover
Hand washing is recommended for the
tonneau cover; modern automatic
washing systems equipped with soft
brushes which do not apply excessive
pressure with specific products may be
used.
Never use high-pressure washing
systems. If a water jet is used, direct
away from the edges of the fabric and
the rear window to prevent water
infiltration.
Versions with stickers or wrapping
To correctly clean and wash the stickers
and/or wrapping parts, proceed as
follows:
Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Then,
wash the vehicle, only by hand, using
pH-neutral detergents; dry it with a wet
chamois leather. Abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
If high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, hold at least
268
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

40 cm away from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration. It should be
remembered that the build up of water
can damage the car over a period of
time.
Wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water.
Use a sponge to wipe a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge.
Rinse with plenty of water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry
the less visible parts with special care,
such as the door frames, bonnet and
the headlight frames, where water may
stagnate more easily. The car should
not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that
residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun.
Exterior plastic parts must be
cleaned in the same way as the rest of
the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park under
trees: the resinous substances that
many species release give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the
possibility of triggering rusting
processes.NOTE Any stains (caused by water) on
the stickers or wrapping can be
removed by dampening the area again
and drying it with a soft, nonabrasive
cloth.
NOTE Bird droppings must be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
NOTE Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the car under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it
may only be possible to remove them
with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they
could alter the paint, the stickers or the
wrapping.
IMPORTANT
202)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle
under trees; remove vegetable resins
immediately as, when dried, it may only be
possible to remove them with abrasive
products and/or polishes, which is highly
inadvisable as they could alter the typical
opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure
windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the
front windscreen and rear window; dilute it
min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
203)When washing the under side of your
vehicle or wheel, be careful not to injure
your hands.
204)If your vehicle is equipped with the
rear gate spoiler, consult a car wash
operator before using the car wash.
205)If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF”
position to deactivate the rain sensor
before washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the
wipers will operate in the presence of water
spray on the windscreen and may get
damaged as a result.
