WARNING
Always read and observe the warning notes before completing any work in
the engine compartment » page 128, Engine compartment.
CAUTION
■
Replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
■
If a newly inserted fuse again blows after a short time, then seek assistance
from a specialist garage.
■
“Do not repair” the fuses and do not replace them with stronger fuses - dan-
ger of fire and damage to another electrical system.
Note
■
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle.

There can be several power-consuming devices for one fuse. Multiple fuses
may exist for a single power-consuming device.
