- Fig. 2 Left side of dash panel: Fuse carrier with plastic frames
To see whether a fuse has blown, check whether the metal strip has melted.
The fuses are located at the left and right-hand ends of the dash panel and behind the right side trim in the luggage compartment.
Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment.
Refer to the following tables to identify the fuse for the failed component.
Remove the appropriate cover.
If fitted, pull the coloured plastic frame out of the fuse carrier Fig. 2 (you can then dispose of the plastic frame).
Take the clip from the inside of the cover Fig. 1.
Use the clip to pull out the fuse.
Blown fuses should always be replaced with a fuse of the same rating.
Fit the cover back on.

WARNING!
Never attempt to repair a fuse or replace a blown fuse by fitting a fuse with a higher ampere rating. This could damage the electrical system - risk of fire!
Caution!
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Note
- Unassigned fuse locations are not shown in the tables below.
- Some of the items of equipment listed in the tables below are only fitted on certain models or are optional extras.
- For right-hand drive vehicles, the fuse carrier can be identified by the colour rather than the letters (-A-, -B-, -C-, etc.).
