To see whether a fuse has blown, check whether the metal strip has melted.
- Fig. 357 -A- Driver s footwell (LHD vehicles): foot rest, -B- Front passenger s footwell (RHD vehicles): cover
- Fig. 358 -C- Dash panel on driver s side (LHD/RHD vehicles): cover, -D- Luggage compartment, left side: cover
The fuses are located in the footwell underneath the foot rest (on LHD vehicles) -A- Fig. 357► or behind a cover (on RHD vehicles) -B-. Further fuses are located at the end of the dash panel (driver s side) -C- Fig. 358► and behind the left side trim in the luggage compartment -D-.
Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment.
Refer to the following tables to identify the fuse for the failed component.
Take the screwdriver and the interchangeable Torx bit out of the vehicle tool kit link►.
Remove the foot rest or the appropriate cover.
If fitted, pull the coloured plastic frame out of the fuse carrier Fig. ► (you can then dispose of the plastic frame).
Take the clip from the rear side of the foot rest -A- or cover -B-.
Use the clip to pull out the fuse.
Blown fuses should always be replaced with a fuse of the same rating.
Refit the foot rest or cover.
