Fuses
Intr
oduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Like
wise, 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 electrical shocks, causing
burns and e
ven 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 circuit without fuses can
cause a fir
e 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.
●
Ne
ver repair a fuse.
●
Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, sta-
ple or similar.
CAUTION
●
T
o pre
vent damage to 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.
●
If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse, you could cause damage to another
part of the electrical system.
●
Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they
can damage the electrical system.
●
Always carefully remove the fuse box
covers and refit them correctly to avoid
problems with your vehicle.
Note
●
One component may have more than one
fuse
.
●
Several components may run on a single
fuse.
●
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicated in this chapter. These
should only be changed by a specialised
workshop.
●
Positions not containing a fuse do not ap-
pear in the f
ollowing tables.
●
Some of the equipment listed in the ta-
bles below pertain only to certain versions
of the model or are optional extras.
●
Please note that the above lists, while
correct at the time of printing, are subject
to change.
