FUSES 
A
 failure in the electrical system may be 
 caused
 by a burned fuse. 
Fuses
 are arranged in one centralized 
unit.
 The
 unit
 is located on the
 left
 side  under the dashboard behind a cover. 
Removing
 cover: 
Detach cover at
 front,
 swing downwards 
and take it off. 
Installing
 cover: 
Hang
 cover in the eyes of fuse box 
bracket, swing it upwards and press it 
firmly
 into
 position. 
 Replacing
 a
 fuse 
Before
 replacing
 a fuse,
 turn
 off all
 lights 
and accessories and
 remove
 the
 ignition 
 key to
 avoid
 damaging
 the
 electrical 
system. 
• Consult the fuse listing on the following 
page to
 find
 out which fuse belongs to the 
component
 that
 has failed. 
• Remove blown fuse
 with
 the plastic clip 
located on cover in
 front
 of fuse box. 
Three spare fuses can be attached to the 
 bottom
 of the fuse panel. It is good planning to keep a supply of spare fuses on 
hand.
 They are available at your Volks
wagen dealer. 
• Replace the blown fuse which can be 
recognised by the
 burnt
 metal strip,
 with
 a 
fuse of equal ampere rating.  If a
 fuse
 blows
 repeatedly,
 do not
 keep
 or 
replacing
 it. The cause of the
 short
 cir
cuit
 or
 overload
 must
 be found. On nc 
account
 should fuses be
 patched
 up 
with
 tin
 foil
 or
 wire
 as
 this
 may cause  serious
 damage
 elsewhere
 in the
 electrj 
cal
 circuit
 or cause a
 fire. 
WARNING 
 Do not use a
 fuse
 of
 higher
 amperage, 
because
 this
 could
 damage
 the
 elec
trical
 part
 and
 fire
 can
 result.
