Fuses Data on the replacement fuse must
match the data on the defective fuse.
There are two fuse boxes in the
vehicle:
● on the left-hand side of the instrument panel, behind the trim
panel
● in the engine compartment located below the coolant
expansion tankCombi
An additional fuse box is located
behind a trim panel on the right-hand
side of the load compartment, beside the rear door.Bus
An additional fuse box is located on
the lower right-hand side of the load
compartment, below the step trim
panel.
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognised by its melted wire.
Caution
Do not replace the fuse until the
cause of the fault has been
remedied.
It is advisable to carry a full set of
fuses. Consult a workshop.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.
Note
Not all fuse box descriptions in this
manual may apply to your vehicle.
When inspecting the fuse box, refer
to the fuse box label.
Fuse extractor
A fuse extractor may be located in the
instrument panel fuse box. The
extractor has two sides, each side is
designed for a different type of fuses.
