REPLACING FUSES

GENERAL INFORMATION fig. 30
Fuses protect the electric system: they
cut in (i.e. they blow) in the event
of a failure or improper action on
the system.
When a device does not work, check
the efficiency of its fuse: the filament
A must be intact. If it is not, replace
the blown fuse with another with
the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use
the pliers D hooked to the fuse box
lid on the dashboard left-hand side.
Refer to the tables on the following
pages to identify the protection fuse.
