FUSE BOX LOCATIONS
CAUTION
Take care to protect the fuse boxes from moisture. Refit the fuse box lid at the earliest opportunity.
Access the fuses as follows:
- Engine compartment fuse box: Remove the under-hood cover. See UNDER-HOOD COVERS REMOVAL. Release the four clips to remove the fuse box lid.
NOTES
The fuse box label is located on the inner surface of the lid.
- Passenger compartment fuse box: Open the glovebox. See STORAGE COMPARTMENTS. Firmly press the top of the support stay at each end and lower the glovebox into the footwell.
NOTES
The fuse box label for the passenger compartment fuse box is contained within the load space fuse box.
- Loadspace fuse box cover: Pull the fuse box cover forwards to release the six clips.
- Loadspace fuse box: Release the two clips to remove the fuse box lid.
REPLACING A FUSE
CAUTION
Always switch off the ignition system and the affected electrical circuit before replacing a fuse. Failure to do so could cause damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Fit approved replacement fuses of the same rating and type, or fuses of a matching specification. Using an incorrect fuse may result in damage to the vehicle’s electrical system and can result in a fire.
CAUTION
If the replacement fuse blows after fitment, the system should be checked by a retailer/authorized repairer. Further damage could be caused to the vehicle if ignored.
NOTES
Relays and fuses not detailed in the Owner’s Handbook should only be replaced by qualified persons.
If an electrical system has stopped operating, the cause may be a blown fuse. The easiest way to check if a fuse has blown is to first remove it.
To check for a blown fuse:
- Refer to the fuse box tables shown in this section to identify the correct fuse.
- Gain access to the appropriate fuse box. See FUSE BOX LOCATIONS.
- Refer to the fuse box label to locate the correct fuse. Depending on the fuse box, the label is located on the underside of the lid. The label on the loadspace fuse box is located in the slot on the front edge of the fuse box.
- Use the fuse removal tool to remove the fuse. The fuse removal tool is located in the loadspace fuse box. See FUSE BOX LOCATIONS.
- Check for a break in the wire within the fuse. If the wire within the fuse is broken, the fuse has blown and needs replacing. If the wire is still intact, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
- Refit or replace the fuse, as appropriate. Make sure the fuse is pushed fully into its correct position. Spare fuses are located in the loadspace fuse box.
