There are three fuse boxes in the vehicle: ■ in the front left of the engine compartment, ■ in left-hand drive vehicles, in the interior behind the storage compartment, or, in right-hand drive vehicles, behind the glovebox, ■ behind a cover on the left side of the load compartment. Before replacing a fuse, turn off the respective switch and the ignition. A blown fuse can be recognized by its melted wire. Do not replace the fuse until the cause of the fault has been remedied. Some functions are protected by several fuses.
