Procedure for replacing a faulty fuse with a new one to remedy a fault on the corresponding function.

The two fuse boxes are located under the dashboard and in the engine compartment.

Replacing a fuse

Before replacing a fuse, identify the cause of the fault and rectify it. Fuse numbers are shown on the fuse box.

Replace the faulty fuse with one of the same amperage (same colour).

Use the special puller 1 located on the cover near the fuse boxes. It also holds spare fuses.
