2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC fuses

Fuses

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.
Fuses in the vehicle

Fig. 196 On the driver side of the instrument panel: Fuse box cover.

Opening the fuse box in the instrument panel
Insert a flat object, such as a screwdriver from the vehicle tool kit,
into the opening ⇒ fig. 196 (arrow) and carefully lift off the cover.
On the inside of the cover there are plastic tweezers for removing
and inserting fuses.
To install, guide the cover from the bottom into the instrument

Fig. 199 Removing or inserting a fuse using the plastic tweezers 1.

For small fuses, slide the tweezers ⇒ fig. 199 (1) onto the fuse from
the top A.
For larger fuses, slide the tweezers (1) onto the fuse from the side
B.
Pull out the blown fuse.
If the fuse is blown, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same
amperage (same color and same imprint) and same overall size ⇒ .
If necessary, replace the plastic tweezers in the fuse box cover.
Replace the cover.
NOTICE
If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, then dam-
age can occur at various places in the electrical system.
