CAUTION
■
Replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the same amperage.■If a newly inserted fuse blows after a short time, then seek the assistance of
a specialist garage.■
Do “not repair” the fuses and do not replace them with stronger ones - it can
cause a fire and could damage parts of the electrical system.
