Fuses
Do not repair blown fuses or replace them
with fuses of different colours or ampere
ratings, otherwise overloaded electrical wires
can cause a fire in the vehicle.<
Open the cover in the glove box and remove.
Spare fuses and a pair of plastic tweezers are
set in holders on the distributor box.
See the rear of the cover for information on fuse
assignment.
