404 Practical hintsFusesThe electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to
stop the supply of electricity to a device
that is malfunctioning. This helps to
prevent damage to the other vehicle
electronics.

Fuse extractor
The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:

ment (

Fuse box in engine compartment
(page 406).
Aids for changing fuses

The fuse chart is found in the main fuse
box in the passenger compartment

cle tool kit in the spare wheel well
