High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.
• Never touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.
• Avoid causing short circuits in the electrical system.
WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injuries.
• Never fit fuses that have a higher fuse protection limit. Fuses must always be replaced
by a new fuse with the same amp rating (same colour and markings) and size.
• Never repair a fuse.
• Never use a metal strip, paper clip or similar objects to replace a fuse.
WARNING
• To avoid damage to the electrical system in the vehicle, switch the ignition, the lights
and all electrical consumers off and remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock
before changing a fuse.
• You can damage another position in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher
amp rating.
• Fuse boxes must be protected from dirt and moisture when opened. Dirt and moisture
in the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system.
