FUSES

If an incident occurs in an electrical
component, check first of all that
the fuses are sound.
Also make sure that the faulty
component is correctly connected.
In the event of a short circuit, isolate
the battery by unscrewing the
negative
terminal.
Under
no
circumstances
should
you
disconnect the positive terminal
before the negative terminal.
Passenger compartment fuse box
A
can be found “under the passenger's
feet”.
To open it, lift the carpet and
remove the cover (using a coin).
To identify the fuses, refer to the
fuse assignment label
B
found in the
fuse box (illustrated opposite).
A wise precaution: obtain a box
of spare bulbs and fuses from
your Renault Dealer.
Replacing fuses
Remove the fuse using the tweezers
1
. Slide the fuse sideways to remove
it from the tweezers.
Fuses
R
are spare fuses.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Check the fuse concerned and
replace it
if necessary with a new
fuse
which must be of the same amperage rating as the original
fuse.
If a fuse with too high a rating is fitted, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment
drawing an excessive amount of current.
