Fuse cover in engine compartment
The fuse box in the engine comp artment exists in two different
versions. You can determine which vers ion your vehicle is fitted with
after removing the fuse cover at the location of the fuses.
For particular model versions, the battery must be removed before
removing the fuse cover ⇒page 232.
Removing fuse cover
– Move the circlips ⇒fig. 236 as far as the stop, the symbol

appears behind the circlip and remove the cover.
Installing fuse cover
– Position the fuse cover on the fuse box and push the circlips as far as the stop - the symbol
 is visible behind the circlip.
Caution
•When unlocking and locking the fuse cover, it must be pressed on the sides to
the box, otherwise damage can occur to the locking mechanism.
•Carefully position the fuse cover in the engine compartment. If the cover was
not correctly positioned, water can get into the fuses and this results in a damage
to the vehicle!
