CHANGING A FUSE

GENERAL INFORMATION

The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action if
there is a fault or improper action on the
system.

Check the state of the corresponding fuse
when a device does not work: the filament
A-fig. 34 must be intact. If it is not, re-
place the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).

B undamaged fuse fig. 34

C fuse with damaged filament fig. 34.

fig. 34

F0M0236m

Do not replace one fuse with
another of greater amper-

age; FIRE HAZARD.

WARNING

Never replace a damaged fuse
with metal wires or other 
recycled material.

If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,

MAXI-FUSE) is activated, contact
a Fiat Dealership. 

WARNING

If the same fuse blows again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

Remove the key from the ig-
nition and switch off or dis-

connect all devices before replacing
a fuse.

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.

RECHARGING 
THE BATTERY

IMPORTANT The battery recharging pro-
cedure is provided for information pur-
poses only. You are recommended to go
to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation
performed.

We recommend recharging the battery
slowly for approximately 24 hours at low
amperage. Rapid charging with high cur-
rents could damage the battery.

VERSIONS WITHOUT
Start&Stop SYSTEM

Charge the battery as follows:
❒ disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒ connect the charger cables to the bat-

tery terminals, observing the polarity;

❒ turn on the charger;
❒ when you have finished, turn the charg-

er off before disconnecting it from the
battery;

❒ reconnect battery negative terminal.

fig. 41

F0M0518m

VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop
SYSTEM (with dummy pole) 
fig. 41 
(for versions/markets, where provided)

To charge, proceed as follows:
❒ disconnect the quick-release negative

terminal A from the negative dummy
pole B because the battery negative
pole C has a sensor D monitoring the
battery conditions, that should never
be disconnected from the negative pole
C (unless the battery is replaced);

❒ connect the battery charger positive ca-

ble to the battery positive pole E and
the negative cable to the dummy pole
B;

❒ switch on the battery charger. At the

end of the charging process, switch the
charger off before disconnecting it;

❒ after disconnecting the battery charg-

er, reconnect the quick-release nega-
tive terminal A to the dummy pole B.

RAISING THE CAR

If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.

The car should be lifted side-on only, by
putting the ends of the arms or the work-
shop lifting device in the areas shown in
the diagram.

Do not try to recharge a frozen
battery; defrost it first to pre-

vent the risk of explosion. If the bat-
tery was frozen, have it inspected by
specialised personnel before recharg-
ing to check that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that the
casing is not cracked, which could
cause poisonous, corrosive gas to leak.

WARNING

fig. 42

F0M0513m

Battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact

with your skin and eyes. The battery
must be recharged in a ventilated
place away from naked flames or
possible sources of sparks to avoid the
risk of explosion and fire.

WARNING

VERSIONS WITH Start&Stop
SYSTEM fig. 42
(without dummy pole) 
(for versions/markets, where provided)

To charge, proceed as follows:
❒ disconnect the connector A (pressing

the button B) from the sensor C mon-
itoring the battery conditions, on the
negative pole D of the battery;

❒ connect the battery charger positive ca-

ble E and the negative cable to the ter-
minal of sensor D, according to figure;

❒ turn on the battery charger. At the end

of the charging process, switch the bat-
tery charger off;

❒ after disconnecting the battery charg-

er, reconnect the connector A to the
sensor C according to figure.
