FUSES
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use
an appropriate replacement fuse with the
same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other mate-
rial. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit
breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to
use proper fuses may result in serious
personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or disen-
gaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems
(air
bag
system,
system), power unit systems (engine
system, transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized
dealer.
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must
check the fuse element inside the blade fuse
for a break/melt.
Also, please be aware that when using power
outlets for extended periods of time with the
vehicle off may result in vehicle battery
discharge.

Underhood Fuses
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is
located in the engine compartment near the
driver's side hood hinge. This center contains
cartridge fuses, mini-fuses, micro-fuses,
circuit breakers and relays. A label that iden-
tifies each component is printed on the
inside of the cover.
Before any procedure is done on the PDC,
make sure the vehicle ignition mode is OFF.
Remove the cover by unlatching the two locks
located at each side of the PDC cover, avoid
the usage of screw drivers or any other tool to
remove the cover, since they may apply
excessive force and result on a broken/
damaged part.
After service is done, secure the cover with
its two locks.
