IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
Check the efficiency of the corresponding
fuse when a device does not work: the
conducting element A-fig. 37must not be
interrupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse
with another with the same amperage
(same colour).
Bundamaged fuse
Cfuse with damaged filament.
fig. 37F0R0122m
Never replace a fuse with
another of higher amperage:
FIRE RISK.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse
with metallic wires or other
material.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if a
general protection fuse
blows (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE).
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition switch and switch off
all loads before replacing a fuse.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT Check the battery charge
once a year, preferably before the begin-
ning to winter, to prevent freezing of the
electrolyte. Perform this inspection more
frequently if the car is mainly used for
short distances or if electrical devices run-
ning with the key off are installed, partic-
ularly after-market.

CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a gen-
uine spare part having the same specifi-
cations.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Service schedule” in this section will no
longer apply.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
car. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
you want to install accessories (alarms,
mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise
you if a higher capacity battery needs
to be installed.
Batteries contain very dan-
gerous substances for the en-
vironment. You are recom-
mended to go to a Fiat Deal-
ership to have the battery replaced
where the old battery will be disposed
of respecting both the environment and
the laws in force.
If the car is left for long peri-
ods in very cold environ-
ments, remove the battery and store it
in a warm place to prevent freezing.
WARNING
IMPORTANT If the battery is not pro-
vided with the visual indicator to verify
electrolyte charge and level, control op-
erations and any top-up operation must
be carried out by specialised personnel
and by Fiat Dealership.
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of fire and ex-
plosion.
WARNING
Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level
will damage the battery beyond re-
pair and even cause an explosion.

MAINTENANCE
The total intake of these systems (facto-
ry and after-market) must be less than 0.6
mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the
following table:
Battery Maximum
permissible
loadless
consumption
40 Ah 24 mA
50 Ah 30 mA
60 Ah 36 mA
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at
a charge of less than 50% (optical indica-
tor with dark colour without green area
in the middle) for any length of time will
be damaged by sulphation leading to a re-
duction in cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (e.g. already at -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph “Car inactivity” in “Starting
and driving” if the car is left parked for a
long time.
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
❒when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒switch off all lights inside the car: the
car is however equipped with a system
which switches all internal lights off au-
tomatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not run-
ning;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒make sure that battery terminals are al-
ways be perfectly tight.
Always wear the proper pro-
tective eyewear when work-
ing on the battery or near it.

CAR
MAINTENANCE
Normal maintenance of paintwork consists
in washing the car: the frequency depends
on the conditions and environment where
the car is used. For example, it is advisable
to wash the car more often in areas with
a high environmental pollution or on roads
sprinkled with salt.
To correctly wash the car:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the parts less in sight particularly care-
fully, such as the door frames and the
headlight frames, where water may stag-
nate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the car in the open for a while after wash-
ing it to give time for the water to evap-
orate.Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine is
bonnet is hot: this could take the shine off
the paint.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substance many species re-
lease give the paint a dull appearance and
increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.
Detergents cause water pollu-
tion. The car should be washed
in areas equipped for collect-
ing and purifying the liquid
used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear win-
dow should be wiped gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment carefully
after the end of the winter. Be careful not
to direct the jet of water onto electronic
control units. Adequately protect the up-
per air vents to prevent damage to the
windscreen wiper motor. Have this op-
eration performed at a specialised work-
shop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.
