Checking and changing fuses
Fig. 87: Elements in the fuse box in the left footwell
1 Spare fuses
2 Plastic gripper
In order to prevent damage to the electrical
system due to short circuits and overloads, the
individual circuits are protected by fuses. The fuse
boxes are located in the side walls of the driver's
and passenger's footwell respectively. The plastic
gripper and spare fuses can be found in both fuse
boxes under the top cover.
1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse if
possible.
2. Detach the plastic cover at the finger hole.
3. Remove the fuse from its slot using the yellow
plastic gripper 2 in order to check it. A blown
fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip.
4. Insert the new fuse. Only use fuses with the
same rating as replacements. Spare fuses 1
can be found in the left-hand fuse box, next to
the yellow plastic gripper 2.
Information
If the same fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the
fault must be corrected immediately.
