Changing fuses
Changing a fuse
– The tables show the fuse assignment in each
fuse box.
– The tables only include the fuses that you can
replace yourself. Should any other fuses need
to be replaced, please contact a qualified work-
shop.
Procedure
Fuses are located throughout the vehicle, for ex-
ample in the engine compartment, in the front
cabin and in the luggage compartment.
– Free fuse locations are not shown in the tables.
– Some of the listed items of equipment are only
fitted on certain models or are optional extras.
To see whether a fuse has blown, check whether
the metal strip has melted.
WARNING
►
Switch off the vehicle and all electrical equip-
ment.
Refer to the fuse layout tables to identify the
fuse for the affected component.
Never attempt to repair a fuse or replace a
blown fuse by fitting a fuse with a different
ampere rating. This could damage the electri-
cal system – risk of fire!

If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a
short time, the electrical system must be
checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.

box.
Use the clip to pull out the fuse.
Blown fuses should always be replaced with a
