NOTE:
Each time the 12V battery is reconnected, cycle
the steering wheel all the way to the left. Then
cycle the steering wheel all the way to the right to
allow the steering angle sensor to learn the
steering angle thresholds.
Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.

NOTE:
It will not be possible to open the trunk with a key
or by pressing the button in the passenger
compartment when the battery is disconnected.
So, always position the manual trunk opening
strap on the trunk lock before disconnecting the
battery

FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check the
electrical circuit inside of the fuse for a break/
melt.
Also, please be aware that using power outlets for
extended periods of time with the engine off may
result in vehicle battery discharge.Blade Fuses J-CASE Fuse
Fuse Extracting Pliers
To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked to the
fuse box.
Fuse Box
Grab the pliers from the upper tabs, press them,
and extract the pliers pulling upwards.
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use an
appropriate replacement fuse with the same
amp rating as the original fuse. Never
replace a fuse with another fuse of higher
amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with
metal wires or any other material. Do not
place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity or
vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses may
result in serious personal injury, fire and/or
property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the
ignition is off and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an
authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!
Water, ice and salt spread on the roads may deposit on the brake discs, reducing braking efficiency the first time the brakes are applied.
To obtain the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 300 miles (500 km) is needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
