Fuses
Intr
oduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Lik
ewise, 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 el
ectrical 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 cir
cuit 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-
perage (same colour and markings) and
size
.
●
Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, sta-
ple or similar.
CAUTION
●

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.
