Note: To remove and install type "A" fuses, use a special "tweezers" type puller.
Fuses are designed to blow before all wiring is damaged if there is an overload in the electrical circuits from the battery.
Note: Before replacing fuses, determine the cause of the electrical overload and make any necessary repairs.
Warning: Do not use wire instead of fuses, even for temporary installation, as this may cause damage to the electrical system and lead to fire.
1. To change the fuse, turn off the ignition.
2. Open the relay and fuse box and determine which element has burned out. In chapter "Body electrical equipment" also shown are possible locations of relay and fuse boxes in the vehicle's interior and engine compartment.
Note: The fuse box cover shows the names of the electrical circuits and the characteristics of the fuses.

3. Install only a fuse with the ampere rating indicated on the fuse box cover.
4. If there is no spare fuse, in critical situations you can remove the fuse from the "CIG" position, which is not necessary for normal operation of the car, and use it if their rating matches the required one.
Note: Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage rating or any other objects (such as "bugs") to replace a blown fuse. This may cause more serious damage, including fire.
5. If you do not have a fuse with the rated value, then you should use a fuse with a lower value, as close to the rated value as possible.
Note: It is recommended to keep a set of spare fuses in the vehicle.
6. If the new fuse blows immediately, this indicates a fault in the electrical system.
