If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
towing bracket, it is only allowed to tow with

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 specialised
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 ig-
nition 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 replace a fuse by a metal strip, sta-
ple or similar.
NOTICE
●
To prevent damage to the vehicle's electri-
cal system, before replacing a fuse always
turn off the ignition, the lights and all electri-
cal elements.
●
Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
