Changing fuses
Introduction
A
t the time of publication we are unable to
provide an complete overview of the loca-
tions of the fuses for the electrical consum-
ers. This is because the vehicle is under
constant development, because fuses are
a
ssigned dierently depending on the vehi-
cle equipment level and because several
electrical consumers may use a single fuse.
You can get more information about the
fuse layout from an authorised dealer.
Several pieces of electrical equipment can
share a single fuse. Conversely, a single
consumer could have more than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced
when the cause of the fault has been recti-
fied. If a new fuse blows again shortly aer
fitting, have the electrical system checked
by a suitably qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can
c
ause electric shocks, serious burns and
death.
·
Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
·
Avoid causing short circuits in the elec-
trical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and
bridging an electrical circuit without fuses
can cause a fire and serious injuries.
·
Never fit fuses that have a higher fuse
protection limit.
·
Replace fuses only with fuses with the
same rating and size. Make sure that
the colour and markings are identical to
the defective fuse.
·
Never repair fuses.
·
Never use a metal strip, paper clip or
similar objects to replace a fuse.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the electrical system in
the vehicle, switch o the ignition, the lights
and all electrical consumers before chang-
ing a fuse.
·
Make sure that it is not possible to switch
on the ignition when changing a fuse.
