The individual current circuits are protected by fuses.
All electric windows are protected together via an automatic fuse
which breaks the circuit when overloaded (e.g. windows frozen)
and completes the circuit again after a few seconds.
It is advisable to always carry a few spare fuses on the vehicle.

Please note the warnings from the "Engine compartment" chapter
and following ones, before undergoing any work on the engine or
engine compartment.
The fuses are located behind a cover in the instrument panel

In some models, there are additional fuses in the engine
compartment, for example on top of the battery.
• Switch off ignition and the component concerned.
• Take cover off
⇒fig. 181
• In the cover or in the fuse box you will find plastic pliers* to
remove the fuses.
• You will find the fuse layout on a label in the fuse box cover.• Remove the appropriate fuse.
• Replace blown fuse – can be recognised by the burnt metal strip
– with a fuse of same amperage.
• Replace the cover.
• If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, the
electrical system must be checked by a Technical Service Centre as
soon as possible.
