If A Fuse Blows - Alfa Romeo 159 Owner's Manual

IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL
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 el-
ement must be intact; if not, replace the
fuse with one of the same amp rating
(same colour).
A: undamaged fuse
B: fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers C
hooked to the fusebox on the dash-
board.
fig. 54
Never replace a broken
fuse with anything oth-
er than a new fuse.
WARNING
Never change a fuse
with another with a
higher amp rating, danger of
fire.
WARNING
If a
(MEGA-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt
any repair and contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
Before changing a fuse, check
the ignition key has been re-
A0E0119m
moved and that all the other
electric devices have been
turned off/disabled.
WARNING
If the fuse blows again,
contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorized Services.
