FUSES
WARNING!
- When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement fuse with the same amp rating as the original fuse.
- Never replace a fuse with another fuse of a higher amp rating.
- Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any other material.
- Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury, fire and/or property damage.
- Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
- If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
- 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.
Front Power Distribution Center (Fuses)
- The Front Power Distribution Center is located in the engine compartment.
- This module contains fuses and relays.
- Fuse cavity location and descriptions are printed on the inside of the power distribution centre cover.
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.
- When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating.
- The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload.
- If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
