Fuses
clip 3
Remove  the  fuse  using  tweezers 3,  lo-
cated  at  the  back  of  storage  compart -
ment A.
To  remove  the  fuse  from  the  tweezers, 
slide the fuse to the side.
It  is  not  advisable  to  use  the  free  fuse 
locations.
Check  the  fuse  in  question 
and  replace  it,   if  neces-
sary,  by a fuse of the same 
rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is 
too high, it may cause the electrical 
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the 
event of an item of equipment using 
an excessive amount of current.
Fuse box  2
If  any  electrical  component  does  not 
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Open  storage  compartment  A .  Press 
tab 1 to move it then pull it towards you 
to unclip it.
To  identify  the  fuses,  refer  to  the  fuse 
allocation label (shown on the following 
page).
