Replacing fuses

In order to avoid damage caused by short circuits and overloads in the lines and consumers of the electrical system, individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. Blade-type fuses are used, so that traditional fuses can no longer be used.



The fuses are predominantly housed in a single fuse and relay box, which is located on the left side of the engine compartment next to the battery.



The second fuse box -2- is located in the footwell on the left under the dashboard. To open the cover of the box, pull out the button -1-. To close, fold up the fuse box and secure.

Before replacing a fuse, always switch off the corresponding current consumer beforehand.

Remove the fuse box cover.




A blown fuse is recognized by the melted metal strip.



Remove the defective fuse. To remove the fuses, there is a plastic tweezer in the lid or in the box itself.

Install a new fuse with the same amperage. The rated current of the fuse is stamped on the back of the holder. In addition, the holder is marked with an identification color, by which you can find out the corresponding rated current.

Rated current in amperes	Identification color
3	purple
7,5	brown
10	red
15	blue
20	yellow
30	green

Re-cover the fuse box with the protective cover or fold the fuse box up.

If a newly installed fuse blows soon, check the appropriate circuit.

Never replace the fuse with wire or any other means, as this can result in serious damage to electrical equipment.

It is recommended to keep several spare fuses in the machine at all times. For their storage in the fuse box located in the engine compartment, appropriate holders are provided.

Note! The location of the fuses depends on the equipment and the year of manufacture of the car, it is given on the cover of the fuse box and in the instruction manual.
