- Locate the fuse which belongs to the component which
failed.
- Switch off the ignition and the electr ical component
affected.
- Carefully pry the face cover off the instrument panel
using t he ign ition key or a screwdriver=> fig . 291.
- Remove the plastic clip @ from it s retain er in t he face
cove r => fig. 292, place it over the questionable fuse and
remove the fuse.
- Replace a blow n f use (recog nizable by the melted metal
st ri p inside) with a f use of the
same amperage.
The individual circuits are protected by fuses. The fuse panels with
the fuses are located on the left and right front faces of the instru-
ment panel behind a cover and in the left and right storage areas in
the luggage compartment.
There is a plastic clip @ in the cover on the left side of the instru -
ment panel, which can be used to remove the f uses . The crank @ is
used for emergency operation of the power roof *. You wi ll also find
a labe l on both covers in the instrument panel w ith the fuse layout
© for the corresponding fuse panel.
& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
• A fuse w ith a to o high amper age could dam age th e electrical
part and cause a fire.
0 Note
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as th is may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec-
trical circuit or cause fire .
• If a fuse blows repeatedly , do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause of the repeated short circuit or overload located and fixed . ...
