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

hooked to the fusebox on the dash-
board.

Never replace a broken
fuse with anything oth-
er than a new fuse.

Never change a fuse
with another with a

higher amp rating, danger of
fire.

WARNING

If a general fuse
(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-
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.

WARNING

If a general protection
fuse for safety sys-

tems (air bag system, braking
