Maintenance and care
■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb
may need replacement. (→P. 340)
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your
SUBARU dealer.
■If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
other object in place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine SUBARU fuse or equivalent.
●Do not modify the fuse or the fuse box.
CAUTION
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your
SUBARU dealer.
