CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a fault or improper action on the sys-
tem.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a device
does not work: the filament A-fig. 183 must be intact. If it
is not, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same
amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
Should the fuse blow again, contact a Fi-
at Dealership.
Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or
other materials.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has
a higher amperage: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) is activated,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Remove the key from the ignition and switch off
or disable all devices before replacing a fuse.
If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air
bag system, braking system), power unit systems
(engine system, transmission system) or steering
system is triggered, contact a Fiat Dealership.
