CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event of a
fault/intervention in the system. Check the state of the corre-
sponding fuse when a device does not work: the filament A-fig.
150 must be intact.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new one with the same am-
perage (same colour).
B = intact fuse.
C = fuse with damaged filament.
fig. 150A0K0042mfig. 151A0K0207m
Use the pliers A-fig. 151 under the engine compartment fusebox
lid to remove the fuses (see “Engine compartment fusebox” for
how to remove the lid).
