Most of your vehicle’s electrical components are fused
with safety fuses. With the exception of the brake lights,
all individual lighting system components are
electronically fused. Before replacing a blown safety
fuse, determine the cause of the short circuit. Always
observe amperage and color of fuse.
The circuit for components is protected by a cycled
circuit breaker interrupted if too much current is being
drawn. The circuit closes automatically after a short
time; the circuit is broken again if the malfunction
reoccurs.
A lways us e a new fus e for re placeme nt. Never atte mp t to
repair or bridge a blown fuse.
A fuse chart is located in fuse box (1).
A fuse extractor is located in the auxiliary fuse box in
the trunk, see page 317.Fuse box in the passenger compartment
