Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located

on the left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover.

Caution

Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a

higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the

electrical system.

•

–

Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.

Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover ⇒ fig. 201.

•

Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage

if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.

Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating

⇒ page 221, “Fuse assignment”.

Note

–

Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the

respective fuse and pull out this fuse.

We recommend that you have these fuses replaced by a specialist garage.

Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the

defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.

Fit on the fuse cover again.

Replacement fuses are, on the other hand, part of the basic equipping of the vehicle in some

countries.

The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is replaced.

Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount of

dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, serviette or some-

thing similar.

that no major complications will arise. Other light bulbs should be changed by your

specialist garage.
