fuse FIAT 500L LIVING 2014 2.G User Guide

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carr y out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with type approval
requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a
lot of steering, the steering may become harder;
this is normal and is due to the intervention of the
system to protect the electric steering motor from
overheating. No repair intervention is needed in this
case. When the car is used again, the power steering
will work normally again.
WARNING
Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition to lock
the steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs to
be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must be
running), remove the main fuse that protects
the electric power steering.

WARNING
Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather
conditions, and must always comply with traffic
regulations.The engine can be stopped even if
the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process could
cause premature deterioration of the engine oil.
For this reason, it is always advisable to wait
for the warning light to go off before turning
the engine off, following the instructions
appearing above. Do not complete the DPF
regeneration process when the vehicle is
stopped.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check the
correct alignment of the light beam;
❒when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas,
in the case of breakage they may burst
causing glass fragments to be projected
outwards.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metal part only.Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted
light and even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In
the event of accidental contact , wipe the bulb
with a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the
bulb dry.Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership.The
correct operation and direction of the
external lights are absolutely essential for the
safety of the car and of compliance with the law.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the surface of
headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or form
drops of condensation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in temperature
and humidity between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a fault and does
not compromise the normal operation of lighting
devices. The mist disappears quickly when the lights
are turned on, starting from the centre of the
diffuser, extending progressively towards the edges.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene
(blow) in the event of a failure or improper
intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition
of its protective fuse: the conductor element A
fig. 200 must be intact. If it is not, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same
colour).
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged conductor element.To replace a fuse, use the pliers D hooked inside the
engine compartment fuse box cover.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify
the specific protective fuse.
WARNING
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with metal wires or
anything else.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another with
a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
