behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel and on the left-hand

windows) has been corrected. Colour coding of fuses
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could re
sult in fire. This could also cause
damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note

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.

If you replace a fuse with a stronger fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in the electrical system.

Always keep some spare fuses in the vehicle. These are available from
official Service. Colour
