Use the removal tool provided on the
main fuse box in the engine

engine compartment fuse panel cover.4. Push in a new fuse of the same
rating, and make sure it fits tightly in
the clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an

If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of
the same rating from a circuit you may
not need for operating the vehicle, such
as the radio or clock (Room) fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are OK, check the fuse box in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced.

rating.
