IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL

The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it comes into
action (i.e. it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or improper action on the
system.

When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its fuse. The
conductor element (A) must be intact; if not, replace the fuse with one of
the same amp rating (same colour).

(B): undamaged fuse.

(C): fuse with damaged filament.

To replace fuse, use the pliers (D) hooked inside the fuse box cover on
the left side of the dashboard.

F0E0625m

Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.

WARNING

If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt
any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership. Before replacing a fuse, make sure the
ignition key has been removed and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.

WARNING

Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE. If
a fuse blows again, contact Fiat Dealership.
