risk of an accident and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with speci-

for smart vehicles and which have the
correct fuse rating for the system con-

otherwise be damaged.

Make sure that no moisture can enter
the fuse box when the cover is open.
The electrical fuses disconnect defective
circuits. If a fuse blows, all the connected
components and their functions will fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise
by the colour and fuse rating. The fuse rat-

If new fuses blow, the cause for this must
be diagnosed and rectified at a qualified
specialist workshop.
