Fuses
Intr
oduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an el
ectrical
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 electrical shocks, causing
burns and even death!
●
Ne
ver 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 circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.
●
Nev
er 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 r
eplace a fuse by a metal strip, sta-
ple or similar.
CAUTION
●
T
o prevent damage t
o the vehicle's elec-
tric system, before replacing a fuse always
turn off the ignition, the lights and all elec-
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.
Note
●
One component may have more than one
fuse.
●
Sev
eral components may run on a single
fuse.
●
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicated in this chapter.
