Fuses
Introduction
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
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 specialised
workshop as soon as possible.
Fuses for the emergency services (high volt-
age system)
In the fuse box located under the steering
wheel, behind the storage compartment (on
left-hand drive vehicles) or behind a cover in-
side the glove box (on right-hand drive vehi-
cles), as well as behind a cover on the right-
hand side of the luggage compartment, there
is a high-voltage system fuse marked with a
small ag to allow the emergency services to
de-energise the vehicle as quickly as possible.
Never replace this fuse yourself or place it
where other fuses are located. If this fuse fails,
have it replaced by a qualied specialist work-
shop.
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 ig-
nition system.
•
Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridging a current circuit without fuses can
cause a re and serious injury.
•
Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
•
Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or similar.
NOTICE
• To prevent damage to the vehicle’s elec-
trical system, before replacing a fuse always
turn o the ignition, the lights and all electri-
cal elements.
•
When replacing fuses, make sure that it is
not possible to switch on the drive system.
•
Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
NOTICE
Never remove the high-voltage fuses marked
with a special ag in the fuse box on the dash
panel or in the luggage compartment. These
fuses are used exclusively by the emergency
services to de-energise the vehicle as quickly
as possible.
Note
In the vehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicated in this chapter. These should
only be replaced by a specialist workshop.
