Fuses
Introduction
Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse assignments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time this
manual was printed. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible.
WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give serious electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
●
tion system.

Take care not to cause short circuits in the
●
electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a current circuit without 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 amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
Never repair a fuse.
●
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or similar.
CAUTION
● To prevent damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse, you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
● Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-
ers and refit them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle.
Note
● One component may have more than one
fuse.
Several components may run on a single
●
fuse.
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than
●
those indicated in this chapter. These should
only be changed by a specialised workshop.
Positions not containing a fuse do not ap-
●
pear in the following tables.
● Some of the equipment listed in the tables
below pertain only to certain versions of the
model or are optional extras.
● Please note that the above lists, while cor-
rect at the time of printing, are subject to
change.
