Fuses
Introduction
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
●
ignition 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 am-

Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, sta-
●
ple or similar.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the vehicle's elec-
●
tric system, before replacing a fuse always
turn off the ignition, the lights and all elec-
trical elements and remove the key from
the ignition.
Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
●
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they
can damage the electrical system.
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
