REPLACING FUSES
INTRODUCTION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event of a fault
in the system. Check the efficiency of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the conducting element A must not be in-
terrupted.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new one with the same am-
perage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.

If the fuse blows again contact an Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
Never replace a blown fuse with anything other
than a new fuse.
Under no circumstances should a fuse be replaced
with one of a higher amperage; FIRE RISK.
If a general protection fuse blows contact an Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure you have re-
moved the key from the ignition and have turned
off and/or unplugged all energy-consuming de-
vices.
