CAUTION
●
The towing eye must always be com-
pletely and firmly tight
ened. Otherwise, it
could be released while towing and tow-
starting.
●
If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
towing bracket, it is only allowed to tow
with a tow bar if this has been specially de-
signed to be installed with a tow hitch. If an
unsuitable tow bar is used, both the tow
hitch and the vehicle may be damaged. In-
stead, a tow rope should be used.

Fuses
Intr
oduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be prot
ected 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!
●
Never t
ouch 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.
●
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 met
al strip, sta-
ple or similar.
CAUTION
●
T
o prevent damage to the vehicl
e'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.
●
Several components may run on a singl
e
fuse.
●
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicated in this chapter.
