FUSES AND CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle
are protected from short circuits
by a combination of fuses, circuit
breakers and fusible thermal links.
This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
The instrument panel fuse block is
on the driver’s side wall of the
instrument panel.
Additional fuses are located in the
engine compartment.
The engine compartment fuse
block is located next to the coolant
reservoir.
Spare fuses and a fuse extractor
are located in the engine
compartment fuse block.
Note:
Your vehicle may not have all
the fuses listed.
