General Information
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. The use of
a fuse with a rating other than indicated may
result in a dangerous electrical system overload.
If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indi-
cates a problem in the circuit that must be
corrected. 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
authorized dealer.
The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive 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 using power outlets for
extended periods of time with the engine off may
result in vehicle battery discharge.

Underhood Fuses
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is located on
the passenger side of the engine compartment,
behind the headlamp. This center contains cartridge
fuses, micro fuses, relays, and circuit breakers.
A description of each fuse and component may be
stamped on the inside cover, otherwise the cavity
number of each fuse is stamped on the inside cover
that corresponds to the following chart.
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.
