Replacing fuses In order to prevent damage to the electrical sys-
tem due to short circuits and overloads, the indi-
vidual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse box is located in the driver’s footwell.
A - Plastic gripper
B - Spare fuses 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull off plastic cover at the finger hole (arrow ).
The fuse plan and instructions for
emergency unlocking of the luggage
compartment lid can be found on the inner
side of the cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot using the plastic gripper A in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be ide ntified by the melted
metal strip. 4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.
We recommend using genuine Porsche fuses
for replacement.
Note
f If a fuse blows repeatedly consult an author-
ized Porsche dealer.
f Never try to “repair” fuses: you may cause se-
rious damage to other pa rts of the electrical
system.
