Fuses
The fuse box (1) is accom m odated

Fuses must not be repaired or

Spare fuses for em ergencies (ob­

stowed with the tools.
Battery
The battery is located in the trunk.
Replenish with distilled water
approxim ately every 4 weeks,
and more often in summ er and in

Do not use metal funnels and do
not perforate the diaphragm of the
battery overfill protection.
The battery is filled to the maximum
level when the w ater level in the

If battery acid is to be extracted for
battery diagnosis purposes, per­
forate the diaphragm with the
hydrom eter or the tube attached
to it.
Coat battery term inal clam ps with
acidproof grease. Keep battery
clean and dry.
Only tow vehicle with the battery
connected.
Only charge battery with the rapid

loosened or detached as otherwise
the alternator and other electronic
units would be damaged.
