IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL fig. 37

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 im-
proper action on the system.

If an electric device is not working, check
the efficiency of its fuse. The conductor el-
ement A must be intact; if not, replace the
fuse with one of the same amp rating
(same colour).

B: Undamaged fuse

C: Fuse with broken filament.

Remove the blown fuse using the pincer
D provided in the control box on the
dashboard.

Never replace a broken fuse
with anything other than a
new fuse.

Never change a fuse with
another with a higher amp

rating, DANGER OF FIRE.

WARNING

If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-

FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Fiat Dealership. Be-
fore changing a fuse, check the igni-
tion key has been removed and that
all the other electric devices have
been turned off/disabled.

WARNING

If the fuse blows again, have
the car inspected at Fiat

Dealership.
