eplacing the bulb in the direction
indicator repeater.
The steps should be carried out in the given
order only:
1. Observe the checklist and carry out the
work steps → page 310.
2. Push the direction indicator repeater in
direction of travel and swing it out at
the rear → Fig. 184.
3. Lever the direction indicator repeater
out of the body.
4. Turn the bulb holder in the direction of
the arrow and pull the bulb rearwards
out of the housing → Fig. 185.
5. Pull the bulb straight out of the bulb
holder.
6. Replace the defective bulb with a new
bulb of the same type.
7. Insert the bulb holder into the housing
and turn it as far as it will go in the op-
posite direction to the arrow → Fig. 185.
8. Fit the spring clip of the direction indi-
cator repeater at front into the body,
push it against the spring force in direc-
tion of travel, and engage it at the rear
into the body.
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 a suitably qualified work-
shop.
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 fuses, repairing fuses
and bridging an electrical circuit without
fuses can cause serious damage or a fire
in the vehicle. This can result in serious or
fatal injuries.
·
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
If a fuse is replaced when the ignition is
switched on, the engine is running, lights
are switched on or when other electrical
consumers are switched on, this can dam-
age the electrical system.
·
Always switch o the engine and switch
o the lights and other electrical con-
sumers.
