foil instead of the proper fuse
even as a temporary repair. It
may cause extensive wiring dam

age and a possible fire.
䳜 Do not arbitrarily modify or add-
on electric wiring of the vehicle.
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove fuses
because it may cause a short circuit
and damage the system.
䳜 When replacing fuse, turn the
ignition "OFF" and turn off
switches of all electrical devices
then remove battery (-) terminal.
