Most of your vehicle’s electrical components are fused
wit h s afety f us es. Wit h t he exc eption o f t he b rake lights ,
all individual lighting system components are
electronically fused. Before replacing a blown safety
fuse, determine the cause of the short circuit. Always
observe amperage and color of fuse.
The circuit for components is protected by a cycled
circuit breaker interrupted if too much current is being
drawn. The circuit closes automatically after a short
time; the circuit is broken again if the malfunction
reoccurs.
Always use a n ew f use for r eplacem en t. Never attempt to
repair or bridge a blown fuse.
A fuse chart is located in fuse box (1).
Spare fuses and a special fuse puller are stored with the
tool kit, see page 319.
Wa r n i n g !

sudden maneuver, exercise care when stowing
things. Put luggage or cargo in the trunk if
possible. Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the seat backs.Always use partition net when transporting cargo.
