Replacing fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do not replace a defective fuse with a substi‐
tute of another color or amperage rating; this
could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately re‐
sulting in a fire in the vehicle.◀
In interior
The fuses are located in the front passenger
footwell on the underside of the instrument
cluster.
1. Unscrew screws, refer to arrows, of foot‐
well trim panel.
2. Lay the trim panel in the footwell.
3. Release the screw, arrow 1, and fold the
fuse carrier down, arrow 2.
4. Replace the fuse concerned.
5. Installation is carried out in the reverse or‐
der of removal. Ensure correct and secure
attachment of the footwell trim panel in the
process.
