Replacing a fuse
A problem in the electrical system may be caused by a
blown fuse.
Fig. 233 Instrument
panel left: Face cover
Fig. 234 Instrument
panel left: Content
Face cover
-Locate the fuse which belongs to the component which
failed.
- Switch off the ignition and the electrical component
affected.
Vehicle OP-eration
- Carefully pry the face cover off the instrument panel using
the ignition key or a screwdriver::::::, fig. 233.
- Remove the plastic clip @from its retainer in the face
cover==> fig. 234, place it over the questionable fuse and
remove the fuse.
- Replace a blown fuse (recognizable by the melted metal
strip inside) with a fuse of the
same amperage.
The individual circuits are protected by fuses. The fuse panels with
the fuses are located on the left and right front faces of the instru­
ment panel behind a cover and in the right storage area in the
luggage compartment.
Ther e is a plastic clip@ in the cover on the left side of the instrument
panel, which can be used to remove the fuses. The crank @ is used for
eme rgency operation of the power roof*. You will also find a label on
both covers in the instrument panel with the fuse layout © for the
corresponding fuse panel.
& WARNING
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
• A fuse with a too high amperage could damage the electrical
part and cause a fire.
0 Note
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec­
trical circuit or cause fire.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause of the repeated short circuit or overload located and fixed.
