Relays and fuses
In order to prevent damage to wires or consumers due to short circuits or overloads, individual circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses used meet increased technical requirements. They are equipped with blade contacts and cannot be replaced with fuses used previously. The relay and fuses are located in one box, closed with a lid and located to the left of the instrument panel.
1. Unlock the lid by turning the button 90° (1/4 turn) left or right. Fold the lid down.
2. Before replacing a fuse, switch off the corresponding consumer.
3. A blown fuse is visible by a burnt metal strip. The location of the most important fuses is indicated on the back of the cover and in the machine's operating instructions.

4. Remove the faulty fuse.
5. Install a new fuse rated for the same amperage.
6. If the new fuse blows after a short time, the corresponding circuit must be checked.
7. Never install a wire instead of a fuse. This may cause the electrical system to fail.
8. It is advisable to carry spare fuses in your car, rated for different current strengths.
9. The fuse rating (A) is stamped on the back of the cap (the designation is indicated by an arrow). In addition, the stamp has an identification color, by which the nominal current strength can also be determined.
10. Lift and close the lid.
Nominal current, A | Identification color |
5 | beige |
10 | red |
15 | blue |
