The fuses protect electrical systems against
excessive electrical current.
When a device does not work, you must check the
fuse element inside the blade fuse for a break/
melt.
Also, please be aware that when using power
outlets for an extended period of time with the
engine off, it may result in vehicle battery
discharge.

The Power Distribution Center is located in the
engine compartment near the battery. This center
contains cartridge fuses, mini fuses, and relays.
The PDC top cover is labeled with each serviceable
fuse/relay location, function, and size.If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(air bag system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, gearbox system) or
steering system blows, contact an authorized
dealer.

CAUTION!
When installing the power distribution center
cover, it is important to ensure the cover is
properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to
do so may allow water to get into the power
distribution center and possibly result in an
electrical system failure.
