age, the electric cables could be overloa-
ded. This may result in a fire. There is a
risk of an accident and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with specified
new fuses of the correct amperage.
!
Only use
fuses that have been approved for
smart vehicles and which have the correct
fuse rating for the system concerned. Com-
ponents or systems could otherwise be dam-
aged.
!
Make sure that no moisture can enter the
fuse box when the cover is open.
Electrical fuses disconnect defective cir-
cuits. If a fuse blows, all the connected com-
ponents and their functions will fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the
same rating, which you can recognise by the
colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings are
listed in the fuse allocation chart
(Y page 184).
If new fuses blow, the cause for this must be
diagnosed and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
