IF A FUSE BLOWSGENERAL FEATURES
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.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A- fig. 21must be intact. If not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).
Bundamaged fuse
Cfuse with damaged filament.
In order to substitute a fuse, it is neces-
sary to use the supplied nippers
A-fig. 21/asituated, together with the
spare fuses, behind removable door B.
fig. 21
F0P0236m
Never change a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating: DANGER OF FIRE.
WARNING
Never replace a broken fuse
with metal wires or anything
else.
If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Fiat Dealership. Be-
fore changing a fuse, check the igni-
tion key has been removed and that
all the other electric devices have
been turned off/disabled.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLATIMPORTANT The battery charging pro-
cedure is described only for information
purposes. This operation should be car-
ried out by Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low amp rat-
ing for 24 hours. Charging for a longer
time may damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:❒
disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒
connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒
turn on the charger;
❒
when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒
reconnect battery negative terminal.
The liquid contained in the
battery is poisonous and cor-
rosive. Avoid contact with the skin or
eyes. The battery should be charged
in a well ventilated place, away from
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must first-
ly be thawed, otherwise it may burst.
If freezing has occurred, the battery
should be checked by skilled person-
nel to make sure that the internal el-
ements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
WARNING
ECONOMY MODE
After switching off the engine, when the
key is at the Mposition, some functions
(windscreen wipers, window winders,
map lights, car radio, etc.) can be used on-
ly for a maximum of thirty minutes, so as
to avoid the battery to be run down.
Once these thirty minutes have passed,
the active functions are put in stand-by and
the warning light of the battery flashes, ac-
companied by a message on the display.
To immediately recover the use of these
functions, it is necessary to start the en-
gine and to keep it running for a few sec-
onds.
The time which will be available will be the
double of the engine starting time.
However, this period of time will be be-
tween five and thirty minutes.
If the battery is run down, the engine can-
not be started.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANTThe charge in the battery
should be checked every year, preferably
at the start of winter to limit the risk of
electrolyte freezing. This check should be
carried out more frequently if the vehi-
cle is used mainly for short trips, or if it
is fitted with accessories that permanent-
ly absorb electricity even with the ignition
key removed, especially in the case of af-
ter market accessories.

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 be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously
damage the vehicle. If after buying the vehicle, you want to install elec-
tric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, free-
hand phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified person-
nel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle electric system is capable of
withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Batteries contain substances
that are very harmful for the
environment. You are advised
to have the battery changed
at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly
equipped for disposing of used batter-
ies respecting nature and the law.If the vehicle is left inactive
for long periods at cold, re-
move the battery and store it in a
warm place to prevent freezing.

MAINTENANCE
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.
Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at -10° C). If the vehicle
is inactive for a long period of time, refer
to “Vehicle inactivity”, in section “Correct
use of the vehicle”.
If after buying the vehicle, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the
most suitable devices, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking
whether the vehicle’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful 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 vehicle, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly, the ceiling lights must be off;
❒
turn the ceiling lights off. The vehicle
however, is provided with an automat-
ic system for switching off internal
lights;
❒
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;
❒
battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.
When working on the bat-
tery or near it, always wear
the proper goggles.
WARNING
In fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.

MAINTENANCE
Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing at intervals depending on the con-
ditions and environment of use. For exam-
ple, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the
vehicle more frequently.
To correctly wash the vehicle:❒
remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the vehicle 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.
When drying, take particular care with the
less visible parts like door surrounds, bon-
net and around the headlights where wa-
ter may stagnate. The vehicle should not
be taken to a closed area immediately, but
left in the open so that residual water can
evaporate.Do not wash the vehicle after it has been
parked in the sun or while the bonnet is
hot: it could take the shine off the paint.
Outside plastic parts must be cleaned fol-
lowing the usual vehicle washing proce-
dure.
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. Therefore the engine
compartment should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner product. Use
also clean cloths to avoid scratching the
glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine com-
partment should be carefully washed,
without directing the jet against electron-
ic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT The vehicle should be
washed with the engine cold and the ig-
nition key at S. After washing make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.
