Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not at-
tempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure the ig-
nition key has been removed and that all
the other services are switched off and/or
disengaged.If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other recovered material.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another of high-
er power: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
REPLACING FUSESGENERAL FEATURES fig. 165
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its
fuse: the filament A must be intact. If it is, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D hooked
to the fuse-box on the dashboard left-hand side.

Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without removing
it. The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels cannot
be steered.
WARNING
When towing, remember that without the
help of the servo-brake and electric pow-
er steering, a greater effort is required on the ped-
al and steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables
when towing and avoid jerky movements. While
towing, make sure not to damage parts in contact
with the car. When towing the car, comply with
the regulations of the Highway Code about tow-
ing, both concerning the towing device and the
driving behaviour on the road.
WARNING
During towing, never start the engine.

Car maintenance should be charged to
a Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor
maintenance operations you wish to carry
out yourself, always make sure you have the prop-
er equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the nec-
essary fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.
IMPORTANT – Battery
Check the battery charge once a year, preferably before
at the beginning of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte
freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the
car is used mainly for short journeys, or if it is fitted with
accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with
the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after-
market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or
particularly harsh conditions it is advisable to check the
level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
❒
frequently idling engine or long distance low speed dri-
ving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity;
change engine oil more frequently than required on the
“Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Diesel filter
The possibility of topping-up with diesel fuel not comply-
ing with EN 590 European Standard might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in
the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Air filter
When the car is used on dusty roads, change the air fil-
ter more frequently than shown on the “Scheduled Ser-
vicing Programme”. If in doubt as to how often the en-
gine oil and air filter should be changed according to how
you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT – Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering element more fre-
quently if the car is used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow into the passen-
ger’s compartment is found.

WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under stan-
dard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications” chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A standard pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
❒
the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however pro-
vided with an automatic system for switching-off inter-
nal lights;
❒
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time when
the engine is not running;
❒
before performing any operation on the electric system,
disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒
battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains for a long time
under 50%, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reduc-
ing its capacity and starting attitude.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (e.g. al-
ready 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 acces-
sories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or accessories influencing the electrical supply require-
ments, contact Fiat Dealership whose skilled personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices included
in Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the overall electric ab-
sorption, checking whether the car’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when
the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.

Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or dam-
aging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damag-
ing the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment should
be carefully washed, without directing the jet against any
electronic control unit. Have this operation performed
at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the
STOP
position. After
the washing operation, make sure that the various pro-
tections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol)
or ketenes (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plas-
tic lens. To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒
remove the aerial from the roof to prevent 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 solution 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 less visible parts, such as the door frames, bonnet
and the headlight frames with special care, as in these ar-
eas water may stagnate more easily. The car should not
be taken to a closed area immediately, but left outside so
that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
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 release give the paint a dull ap-
pearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off imme-
diately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particu-
larly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The vehi-
cle should be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and cleaning the liquid used in the
washing process.
