Preparation
• Switch off the ignition, the lights and all electrical consumers.
• Open the appropriate fuse box
⇒
Fuses in the dash panel
.
Detecting a blown fuse
• Shine a torch onto the fuse. This will help you to spot the blown fuse more easily.
• If a
flat blade fuse (ATO , MINI )
has blown, this can be recognised from the top and side
through the transparent housing by the fact that the metal strip has melted
⇒

.
• If a
JCASE fuse
is blown, the melted metal strip can be seen from the top through the
transparent housing
⇒

.
Changing a fuse
• If applicable, take the plastic pliers

onto
the fuse from the side.
• Remove the fuse
• If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse of the
same
amp rating (same colour and same
markings) and
same
size

.
• Once the new fuse is inserted, put the plastic pliers back in the cover.
• Fit the fuse box cover.
Jump starting
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒
Jump lead connection point (earth connection)
⇒
Jump lead connection point (positive terminal)
⇒
Jump starting the vehicle
If the engine fails to start because the 12-volt vehicle battery is flat, the discharged battery can be
connected to the 12-volt battery of another vehicle to start the engine.
Suitable jump leads are needed for jump starting. The wire cross section must be at least 25 mm
for petrol engines and at least 35 mm for diesel engines.

You can damage another position in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher
amp rating.
