ded. This may result in a fire. There is a risk
of an accident and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with specified
new fuses of the correct amperage.

Only use fuses that have been approved
for smart vehicles and which have the cor-
rect fuse rating for the system concerned.
Components or systems could otherwise be
damaged.
!
Make sure that no moisture can enter the
fuse box when the cover is open.
The electrical fuses disconnect defective cir-
cuits. If a fuse blows, all the connected com-
ponents and their functions will fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings
are listed in the fuse allocation chart
Y
( page 210).
If new fuses blow, the cause for this must be
diagnosed and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
