Note: To remove and install type "A" fuses, use a special "tweezers" type puller.
Fuses are designed to blow before all wiring is damaged if there is an overload in the electrical circuits from the battery.
Note:
- Before replacing fuses, determine the cause of the electrical overload and make any necessary repairs.
- Do not use wire instead of fuses, even for temporary installation, as this may cause damage to the electrical system and lead to fire.
1. To change the fuse, turn off the ignition.
2. Press the release button and remove the relay and fuse box cover and determine which element is burnt out.
Location of the fuse box in the engine compartment of the car.
Location of the fuse box in the car interior.
Note:
- For fuse location and circuit description, see the chapter "Body electrical equipment";
- The fuse box covers indicate the names of the electrical circuits and the characteristics of the fuses.

3. Install only a fuse with the ampere rating indicated on the fuse box cover.
4. If there is no spare fuse, in critical situations you can remove the fuse from the "A/C" position, which is not necessary for normal operation of the car, and use it if the rating matches the required one.
Note: Do not use a fuse with a higher current rating or any other object (e.g. "bugs") in place of a blown fuse. Doing so may cause more serious damage up to and including fire.
5. If you do not have a fuse with the rated value, then you should use a fuse with a lower value, as close to the rated value as possible.
Note: It is recommended to keep a set of spare fuses in the vehicle.
6. If the new fuse blows immediately, this indicates a fault in the electrical system.
