Fuse Replacement - Fiat 500 Manual

WARNING
151) Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
152) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
153) Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does
not interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
"Replacement" paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.
154) Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
155) Due to the high power supply
voltage, gas discharge bulbs (Xenon)
should only be replaced by specialised
technicians: danger of death! Contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
51) Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching
the transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
52) Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership. The
correct operation and direction of the
external lights are absolutely essential for
the safety of the car and of compliance
with the law.
53) The intervention must be carried out
taking all precautions necessary to avoid
damaging the bodywork (please use a
sufficiently rigid and appropriately thick
plastic card).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of
a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding
fuse when a device does not work: the
filament (A) fig. 166 should be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with
another with the same ampere rating
(same colour).

(B) = intact fuse;
(C) = fuse with damaged filament.
To change a fuse, use the pincers (D)
attached in position (A) fig. 167 behind
the press-fit cover (B) fig. 168.
Refer to the tables on the following
