Before replacing a fuse, always turn off all electrical consumers and the ignition.
It is recommended to always have spare fuses in the car, after using them, replenish the existing stock again.
If the new fuse also blows after a short time, the corresponding circuit must be checked.
Attention: Never replace the fuse with wire or other improvised means, as this may cause serious damage to the electrical system.
The fuses are in two boxes. The central fuse box is located in the passenger compartment, and the additional one is in the engine compartment.
Central fuse box
Note: The central fuse box is located under a cover on the side of the dashboard on the driver's side.
Use a screwdriver or a plastic wedge, eg HAZET 1965-20, to pry out -arrow- the left side cover of the dashboard.
Note: The figure shows the POLO fuse box.
The fuse layout is shown on the inside of the cover.
Note: The location of the fuses depends on the equipment and year of manufacture of the vehicle.
A blown fuse can be recognized by melted metal plates. A is a good fuse, B is a blown fuse.
Pull out the defective fuse. Plastic tweezers for better fuse coverage are located on the inside of the fuse box cover.
Insert a new fuse with the same current rating. The nominal current value of the fuse is stamped on the reverse side of its head. In addition, the fuse head is color-coded, which can also be used to determine the rated current.
Additional fuse box
Note: The additional fuse box is located in the engine compartment above the battery. The location of the fuses depends on the equipment and year of manufacture of the vehicle.
Loosen and remove the battery cover.
Note: Depending on the model year, the fuse box may have a different design. Unfasten and fold up the cover with the fuse holder. Pull the side plates and remove the cover from the fuse holder. Press the fuse holder towards the battery towards the bottom.
