WARNING
Using the wrong fuse, using a blown fuse that has been re-
paired, and using metal objects in place of fuses to complete
the electrical connection in the circuit can cause fires and seri-
ous personal injury.
Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating.
Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage
(same color and same imprint) and same overall size.
Never repair fuses.
Never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, or a simi-
lar object.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage to the electrical system, switch off all
lights and accessories, switch off the ignition, and remove the
key from the ignition switch before replacing a fuse.
If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, this can
also cause damage at different locations in the electrical system.
Open fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture.
Dirt and moisture in fuse boxes can cause damage to the electri-
cal system.
