that it does not tip over during transport.
Fuses
Notes
Replacing fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and
do 
not replace a defective fuse with a substitute
of another color or amperage rating; this could
lead to a circuit overload, ultimately resulting in
a fire in the vehicle.◀
Plastic tweezers and information on the fuse
types and locations are stored in the fuse box in
the cargo area.
In the glove compartment Push the handle up, arrow 1, and open the lid,
arrow 2. In the cargo area
Open the cover on the right side trim.
Information on the fuse types and locations is
found on a separate sheet.
