Operation – Overview of the fuses D8 1999 – 2009 (click images to enlarge)
Fuses
The separate switch-leg circuits are fitted with cut-out fuses for safety purposes. The fuses are located under the bonnet on the right hand side (see photo). In order to open the fuse-box, the two tags should be pressed inwards and the lid lifted off.
Replacing a fuse
- Switch off the relevant circuit.
- Remove the burnt-out fuse (can be recognised due to the fact that the metal strip has melted) with the plastic clamp.
- Replace the burnt-out fuse with a new fuse with the same ampere value.
- If the fuse melts again within a short period of time, the electrical installation should be checked first.
