Changing fuses
If a fuse has blown, it must be replaced.
– Switch off the ignition and its failed electrical component.
– Remove the fuse cover using a screwdriver
– Identify the fuse corresponding to the damaged electric con-
sumer ⇒ p age 257, Fuse assignment.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto the
blown fuse, and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip)
with a new fuse of the same amp rating.
– Fit the fuse cover back on.
The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are loca-
ted behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are provided on the in-
side of the fuse cover. There is also a crank handle for operating the sun-

CAUTION
Never "repair" damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. It could also cause dam-
age to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system
must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
