WARNING
Always read and observe the warning notes before completing any work in
the engine compartment » page 258.
CAUTION

Replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the same amperage.

If a newly inserted fuse blows after a short time, then seek the assistance of
a specialist garage.

Do “not repair” the fuses and do not replace them with stronger ones - it can
cause a fire and could damage parts of the electrical system.
Notice

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.
