Most of your vehicle’s electrical components are fused 
with safety fuses. With the exception of the brake 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 new fuse for replacement. Never attempt to 
repair or bridge a blown fuse.
A fuse chart, spare fuses and a fuse extractor are located 
in the vehicle tool kit in the luggage bowl under the 
trunk floor. See page 346 for notes on the vehicle tool 
kit.Fuse boxes in the engine compartment

approximately 30 seconds or even restart after the 
engine has been turned off. Stay clear from fan 
blades.If you see flames or smoke coming from the engine 
compartment, or if the coolant temperature gauge 
indicates that the engine is overheated, do not open
