FUSES
WARNING!
• When replacing a blown fuse, always use an
appropriate replacement fuse with the same
amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace
a fuse with another fuse of higher amp rating.
Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or
any other material. Do not place a fuse inside a
circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to
use proper fuses may result in serious personal
injury, fire and/or property damage.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the
ignition is off and that all the other services are
switched off and/or disengaged.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an
authorized dealer.
• If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(air bag system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission system)
or steering system blows, contact an autho-
rized dealer.
General Information
The fuses protect electrical systems against exces-
sive current.
When a device does not work, you must check the
fuse element inside the blade fuse for a break/melt.
Also, please be aware that when using power outlets
for extended periods of time with the engine off
may result in vehicle battery discharge.
Underhood Fuses
The Front Power Distribution Center is located in
the engine compartment. This module contains
fuses and relays. Fuse cavity location and descrip-
tions are printed on the inside of the power distribu-
tion center cover.
CAUTION!
• When installing the power distribution center
cover, it is important to ensure the cover is
properly positioned and fully latched. Failure
to do so may allow water to get into the power
distribution center and possibly result in an
electrical system failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to
use only a fuse having the correct amperage
rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other
than indicated may result in a dangerous elec-
trical system overload. If a properly rated fuse
continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the
circuit that must be corrected.
