REPLACINGFUSES
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 you have to wash the engine compartment, take
care not to aim the jet of water directly at the fuse
box or windscreen wiper motors.FUSELOCAT ION
Fuses are grouped together in three junction units located in the
engine compartment, dashboard and luggage compartment
Fuseboxinengine compartment
This is located next to the battery: to access the fuses undo bolts
A-fig. 40 and remove cover B.
The ID number of the electrical component corresponding to each
fuse can be found on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you close cover B on the fuse
box.

200IN AN EMERGENCY
The power brakes and the electrical power steer-
ing will not work while the car is being towed. More
effort on the brake pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use wires for towing. Do not
jerk. Be careful not to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the specific rules of the Highway
Code when towing the car, specifically in relation to the
towing device and conduct on the road. Do not start the
engine while towing the car. Clean the threaded seat care-
fully before fastening the hook. Make sure that the hook
is fully fastened in the seat before towing the vehicle.The front and rear tow hooks must only be used
for emergency situations on the road. THE vehi-
cle may be towed for short distances when a ded-
icated device is used in compliance with the Highway Code
(rigid bar), in order to move the vehicle on the road in
preparation for towing by a tow truck 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. Respecting the above condi-
tions, towing must only take place with two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) travelling as far as possible in
alignment along the same centreline.

to the sheet wheel, DO NOT fit wheel cups. The use
of unsuitable tyres and wheel cups could cause a sudden
pressure loss of the tyre.
