Fuses
Notes
Replacing fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and do not replace a defective fuse with a substitute of another color or amperage rating; this could lead to a circuit overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.
Plastic tweezers and information on the fuse types and locations are stored in the fuse box in the cargo area.

4. Press the four fasteners and remove the cover.

Reattaching the covers
1. When attaching the cover, make sure that all four fasteners are engaged.
2. Attach the cover under the rubber lip and then thread it between the bars.

3. Press down on the holder and tighten the three screws.

Information on the fuse types and locations is found on a separate sheet.
