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. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. 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, transmission system), or steering system blows, contact an authorized dealer.

General Information
