REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
fault or improper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check
the condition of its fuse: the filament
A fig. 110 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with
another with the same amperage (same
colour).
110) 111) 112) 113) 114)16)
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged filament.FUSE LOCATION
The fuses are grouped in two fuse
boxes located in the engine and
passenger compartments.
Engine compartment fuse box
This is located next to the battery fig.
111: to access the fuses, undo screws
A and remove cover B.
The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each fuse
is shown on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you
close cover B on the fuse box.

WARNING
115) Before towing, turn the ignition
key to MAR-ON and then to STOP
without removing it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered. Also
check that the gearbox/
transmission is in neutral (N).
116) When towing, remember that
the assistance of the brake servo
is absent. Consequently, more
force is required at the pedal
in order to brake. Do not
use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. Make
sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car while towing.
When towing the car, you must
comply with all specific traffic
regulations, both in terms of the
towing device and behaviour
on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the car.
Before tightening the ring, clean
the threaded housing thoroughly.
Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before
towing the car.117) The tow hook must be used
exclusively for roadside
assistance operations. You are
allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an
appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the
road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using cables
or other non-rigid devices. In
compliance with the above
conditions, towing must take
place with the two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned
as much as possible along the
same centre line.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
A fig. 119.
For this check, take out the dipstick
from its seat, clean it with a lint-free
cloth, reinsert the dipstick; take it out
again and check the oil level.
121)
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
mark, add oil through the filler B fig.
119 until it reaches the MAX mark.
22)
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and
check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
121)
Make sure to tighten the oil plug in
its seat thoroughly after possibly
topping the oil up.
The range between the MIN and MAX
levels corresponds to approximately
1 litre of oil.
Engine oil consumption
23)3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
stopping it before you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT
24)122)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
plug C fig. 119 and add the fluid
described in the "Fluids and lubricants"
paragraph of the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN WASHER

with the control pipe C in the initial
position;
❒reposition the engine cover grille and
tighten the 4 self-tapping screws A.
WARNING Re-close the plug holding it
