Fuse box
If any electrical component does not
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Apply the handbrake and unclip flap A.
Tweezers 1
Remove the fuse. Use the tweezers if
the vehicle is equipped with them 1.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers,
slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse
locations.
To repair fuses, use the fuse location
marking on the back of the flap A.
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.
