CAUTION
Never "repair" fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher am-

perage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical
system.
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage
■
if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
When unlocking and locking the cover for the fuse box in the engine compart-

ment, it must be pressed on the sides of the box, otherwise the locking mecha-

switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated.
