General Information
WARNING!
 When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appro-
priate 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 material. 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 disengaged.
 If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an autho-
rized dealer.
 If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air
bag system, braking system), power unit systems
(engine system, transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized dealer.
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 using power outlets for
extended periods of time with the engine off may result in
vehicle battery discharge.

Underhood Fuses
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is located in the
engine compartment near the battery. This center
contains cartridge fuses, mini-fuses, micro-fuses, circuit
breakers and relays. A label that identifies each
component is printed on the inside of the cover.
Before any procedure is done on the PDC, make sure
engine is turned off.
Remove the cover by unlatching the two locks located at
each side of the PDC cover, avoid using screwdrivers or
any other tool to remove the cover, since they may apply
excessive force and result in a broken/damaged part.
After service is done, secure the cover with its two locks.
CAUTION!
When installing the Power Distribution Center cover, it is
important to ensure the cover is properly positioned
and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get
into the Power Distribution Center and possibly result in
an electrical system failure.
NOTE:
The function and amperage of the following fuses are
different, depending on vehicle trim level and content.
