222 [SV37200(ALL)05/95]4. Look through the transparent side of the
fuse to see if the metal wire inside is
separated. If it is, replace the fuse with one
of the same amperage only. You can use the
amp rating number on the fuse as well as
the color to identify the correct replacement.
*
[SV37300(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING

the specified amperage rating. Using a
fuse with a higher amperage rating can
cause severe wire damage and could start
a fire.

Circuit Breaker
[SV37700(ALL)05/93]
The climate control systems require high
amperage. If the rated amperage is exceeded, a
protective circuit breaker will open.
[SV37800(ALL)07/93]
If the circuit is broken by the circuit breaker,
turn all heater and air-conditioner switches off
and restore the circuit by pushing the reset
button located in the interior fuse panel. If the
circuit breaks again, have it inspected by your
dealer.

Headlamp Bulb
*
[SV40400(ALL)01/95]
The headlamps on your vehicle use replaceable
bulbs. When the lamp burns out, simply replace
the bulb, rather than the whole lamp.
*
[SV40500(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully
and keep out of children's reach. Grasp
the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your
hand could cause the bulb to break the
next time the headlamps are operated.
*
[SV40600(ALL)01/95]
Do not remove the burned-out bulb unless you
can immediately replace it with a new one. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the headlamp housing
and affect its performance.
