blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a
device does not work: the filament A-fig. 155 must be
intact. If it is, replace the blown fuse with another with
the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse;
C fuse with damaged filament.
