Replacing fuses

Blown fuses must be replaced.

• Switch off the ignition and switch off the affected electrical consumer.
• Remove the fuse cover using a screwdriver => Fig. 254.
• Determine the fuse for the faulty electrical consumer, see "Fuse assignment".
• Remove the plastic clip from its holder on the fuse cover, place it on the relevant fuse and pull out the fuse.
• If the fuse is blown (recognizable by the melted metal strip), replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
• Refit the fuse cover.

The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses.

The fuses are located on the left side of the instrument panel, under a cover.

On the inside of the cover there is a label showing the fuse assignments, as well as two spare fuses.

A crank for the emergency opening of the sunroof is also attached to the inside of the fuse cover.

Warning!

Never "repair" fuses or replace them with fuses of higher amperage - fire hazard! This could cause damage elsewhere in the electrical system.

Note

If the new fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system must be checked immediately at a specialist workshop.
