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 im-
proper action on the system.

When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A- fig. 38 must be intact. If not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).

B undamaged fuse fig. 38

C fuse with damaged filament fig. 38.

Never change a fuse with
another with a higher amp

rating, DANGER OF FIRE.

WARNING

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

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

FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

Before changing a fuse,
check the ignition key has

been removed and that all the other
electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.
