The high voltages in the electrical system can give serious electrical
shocks, causing burns and even death!

● Take care not to cause short circuits in the electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or bridging a current circuit with-
out fuses can cause a fire and serious injury.
● Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only replace fuses with a fuse of
the same amperage (same colour and markings) and size.

● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple or similar.
CAUTION
● To avoid damage to the vehicle's electrical system, before replacing a
fuse turn off the ignition, lights and all electrical devices and remove the
keys from the ignition.
