- Spare fuses
1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull off plastic cover at the finger hole (
arrow ).
The fuse plan and instructions for
emergency unlocking of the luggage
compartment lid
can be found on the inner
side of the cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot
using the plastic gripper A in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be identified by the melted
metal strip.

If a fuse blows repeatedly consult an author-
ized Porsche dealer.

Never try to “repair” fuses: you may cause se-
rious damage to other parts of the electrical
system.
