Fuses
Introduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Like
wise, an electri-
cal component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible.
WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system
can give serious electrical shocks, causing
burns and even death!

Never touch the electrical wiring of the
ignition system.
●
Take care not to cause short circuits in
the electrical system.
WARNING

Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same
