FUSES (1/3)
Fuses in engine compartment B
Some functions are protected by fuses
located in the engine compartment
(unit B).
However, because of their reduced
accessibility, we advise you to have
your fuses replaced by an approved
Dealer .
AB
It may be necessary to use clips
to remove and replace the fuses.
These can be purchased at an au-
thorised dealer.
Check the fuse in question and replace it, if necessary, by a fuse of the
same rating.
If a fuse is fitted with too high a rating, it may cause the electrical \
circuit
to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using \
an ex-
cessive amount of current.
To comply with current legislation,
or as a precaution, you can obtain
an emergency kit from your appro-
ved dealer containing a set of spare
bulbs and fuses.
