FIAT SEDICI 2008 2.G Owners Manual

210
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery
that requires infrequent maintenance. You
will never have to add water. You should,
however, periodically check the battery,
battery terminals and battery hold- down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.
The test indicator on the top of the bat-
tery provides information on the condi-
tion of the battery.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery
to help prevent discharge.

BATTERY
– Batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep
flames and sparks away from the bat-
tery or an explosion may occur. Nev-
er smoke when working in the vicini-
ty of the battery.
– When checking or servicing the bat-
tery, disconnect the negative cable.
Be careful not to cause a short circuit
by allowing metal objects to contact
the battery posts and the vehicle at
the same time.
– To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, follow
the jump starting instructions in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section of
this manual if it is necessary to jump
start your vehicle.
WARNING
FULL WHEEL COVER
(if equipped)
1.or 2.Flat end tool
Your vehicle includes two tools, a wheel
brace and a jack crank, one of which has
a flat end.
Use the tool with the flat end to remove
the full wheel cap, as shown above.
When installing the cover, make sure that
it is positioned so that it does not cover
or foul the air valve.

Batteries contain toxic sub-
stances including sulfuric
acid and lead. They could have po-
tential negative consequences for the
environment and human health. Used
battery must be disposed or recycled
according to the local law and must
not be discarded with ordinary house-
hold waste. Make sure not to tip over
the battery when you remove it from
the vehicle. Otherwise, sulfuric acid
could run out and you might get in-
jury.

REPLACEMENT
OF THE BATTERY
To remove the battery
1.Disconnect the negative cable (1).
2.Disconnect the positive cable (2).
3.Remove the retainer bolt (3) and re-
move the retainer (4).
4.Remove the battery.
To install the battery
1.Install the battery in the reverse order
of removal.
2.Tighten the retainer bolt and battery
cables securely.5.Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol
6.Chemical symbol of “Pb”
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (5)
located on the battery label indicates that
used battery should be collected sepa-
rately from ordinary household waste.
The chemical symbol of “Pb” (6) indicates
the battery contains more than 0.004%
lead.
By ensuring the used battery is disposed
or recycled correctly, you will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health, which
could otherwise be caused by inappropri-
ate waste handling of the battery. The re-
cycling of materials will help to conserve
natural resources. For more detailed in-
formation about disposing or recycling of
the used battery, consult your Fiat Deal-
ership. NOTE When the battery is disconnect-
ed, some of the vehicle’s function will be
initialized and/or deactivated.
These function are required to reset af-
ter the battery is reconnected.

FUSES
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse and
individual fuses, and are for electrical load
groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for individual electrical cir-
cuits.
60G111A
OK
BLOWN
If the main fuse or a primary
fuse blows, be sure to have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership. Always use a
genuine Fiat replacement. Never use
a substitute such as a wire even for a
temporary repair, or extensive elec-
trical damage and a fire can result.
WARNING
FUSES IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT
The main fuse, primary fuses and some of
the individual fuses are located in the en-
gine compartment. If the main fuse blows,
no electrical component will function. If
a primary fuse blows, no electrical com-
ponent in the corresponding load group
will function. When replacing the main
fuse, a primary fuse or an individual fuse,
use a genuine Fiat replacement.

BULB REPLACEMENT
1.Fuse puller
The fuses are also located under the dri-
ver’s side of the dashboard. Remove the
fuse box lid by pulling it off. To remove a
fuse, use the fuse puller provided in the
fuse box. The amperage of each fuse is
shown on the top of the fuse box cover.
54G256
Always be sure to replace a
blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct amperage. Never use a sub-
stitute such as aluminum foil or wire
to replace a blown fuse. If you re-
place a fuse and the new one blows
in a short period of time, you may
have a major electrical problem.
Have your vehicle inspected imme-
diately by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
65D046
NOTE Make sure that the fuse box always
carries spare fuses.
OK
BLOWN
– Light bulbs can be hot
enough to burn your finger
right after being turned off. This is
true especially for halogen headlight
bulbs. Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
– The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or
dropped. Handle them carefully.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The oils from your skin may
cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb
with a clean cloth.
IMPORTANT Frequent replacement of a
bulb indicates the need for an inspection
of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your Fiat Dealership.

Open the engine hood. Disconnect the
coupler. Remove the sealing rubber.
Push the retaining spring forward and un-
hook it. Then remove the bulb. Install a
new bulb in the reverse order of removal.SIDE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT
As the bulb is built-in type, the light as-
sembly must be replaced. Remove the light
assembly by sliding the light housing left-
ward with your finger. CENTER INTERIOR LIGHT
(if equipped)
Pull down the lens by using a plane screw
driver covered with a soft cloth as shown.
To install it, simply push it back in.
The bulb can be removed by simply pulling
it out. When replacing the bulb, make sure
that the contact springs are holding the
bulb securely.
