cover in the engine compartment.

tweezers.

ꢀ Depending on the type of fuse, slide the tweezers ⇒ fig. 187 A (1) or B (1) onto the fuse from the

side.

ꢀ

Pull out the fuse.

If the fuse is blown, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage (same color and same

imprint) and same size ⇒

ꢀ

Clip the plastic tweezers back into the holder inside the fuse box cover.

ꢀ

Replace the fuse box cover.

NOTICE

If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, then damage can occur at various

places in the electrical system.
