FUSES
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must
check the fuse element inside the blade fuse
for a break/melt.Also, please be aware that when using power
outlets for extended periods of time with the
engine off, may result in vehicle battery
discharge.
Blade Fuses
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use
an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other mate-
rial. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit
breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to
use proper fuses may result in serious
personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disen -
gaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking
system), power unit systems (engine
system, transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box, and the windshield wiper
motors with water.

JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it
can be jump started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by
using a portable battery booster pack. Jump
starting can be dangerous if done improp -
erly, so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc -
tions and precautions.
WARNING!
As required by current regulations, the
information on chemical substances for
the protection of human health and the
environment and on the safe use of the
sealing fluid are on the packaging label.
Compliance with the indications on the
label is an essential condition to ensure
the safety and effectiveness of the
product. Remember to carefully read the
label before use. The user of the product is
responsible for any damages caused by
improper use. The sealing fluid has an
expiration date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
CAUTION!
Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
liquid properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

Manual Transmission — If Equipped
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the fill
plug. The fluid level should be between the
bottom of the fill hole and a point not more
than 3/16 inch (4.7 mm) below the bottom
of the hole.
Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the
proper level.
Please see your authorized dealer for service.
Automatic Transmission — If Equipped
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and
does not require adjustment under normal
operating conditions. Routine fluid level
checks are not required; therefore the trans-
mission has no dipstick. An authorized
dealer can check your transmission fluid
level using special service tools. If you notice
fluid leakage or transmission malfunction,
visit an authorized dealer immediately to
have the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an improper fluid
level can cause severe transmission damage.
Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a mainte -
nance-free battery. You will never have to
add water, nor is periodic maintenance
required.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
WARNING!
Using the battery with low fluid will
irreparably damage the battery and may
cause an explosion.
When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact an autho-
rized dealership.
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a
battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
