CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it
operates if there is a fault or improper intervention in the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a device
does not work: the filament A-fig. 173 should be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
Cfuse with damaged filament.
To change a fuse, use the tweezer D located in the tool
box or the Fix&Go container (for versions/markets where
provided).
If the same fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse with metal
wires or other recycled material.
Do not replace one fuse with another of
greater amperage; FIRE HAZARD.
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Remove the key from the ignition and switch off
or disable all electrical devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
To identify the protective fuse, see the tables on the fol-
lowing pages.

ENGINE OIL fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check the oil level a few minutes after stopping the en-
gine (about 5 minutes) with the vehicle parked on level
ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through
the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the vehicle is new, and
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends on driving style
and conditions of use of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.

Be very careful working in the engine com-
partment when the engine is hot: you may
get burned. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Make
sure that scarves, ties and other items of loose-
fitting clothing do not get caught up in moving
components.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.

INDEXREPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic
devices may cause severe damage to your
vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealership if you want
to install accessories (anti-theft device, mobile
phone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable de-
vices and advise you if a higher-capacity battery
needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that can be
very harmful to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have the battery changed by a
Fiat Dealership, where it will be disposed of prop-
erly and in accordance with the law.
If the vehicle must remain unused for a long
time at very low temperatures, remove the
battery and take it to a warm place to
avoid freezing.
If you have to perform any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.

INDEXIMPORTANT NOTES
❒Where possible, avoid braking suddenly, wheel-spin-
ning and crashing into kerbs, potholes or other obsta-
cles. Long distances on uneven roads can damage the
tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if re-
quired.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause
serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, and the
suspension and steering systems;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked by specialised per-
sonnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years.
Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully;WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every
two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should
be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehi-
cle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than
1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.

INDEX❒In case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding
those with an unknown origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, you should also change the infla-
tion valve.
❒to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to switch them every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side of the car so
as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
Remember that road hold depends on cor-
rect tyre pressures.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low, the tyre
overheats and this can cause it serious
damage.
WARNING
Do not switch the tyres from the right of
the vehicle to the left and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not re-spray alloy wheel rims at tem-
peratures higher than 150 °C. The me-
chanical characteristics of the wheels may be
compromised.
