Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
- Identify the cause of the fault and fix it.
- Switch off all power consumption.
- Immobilise the vehicle and switch off the ignition.
- Identify the defective fuse using the current allocation tables and
diagrams.
To replace a fuse, it is essential to:
- Use the special tweezers to extract the fuse from its housing and check
the condition of its filament.
- Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of the same rating (same
colour); use of a different rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs soon after replacing a fuse, have the electrical system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The
fuse allocation tables and the corresponding diagrams are available from a
PEUGEOT dealer or from a qualified workshop.
The
replacement of a fuse not shown in the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of the vehicle. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installing electrical
accessories
The vehicle's electrical system is designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before fitting other electrical equipment or accessories to your
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
PEUGEOT accepts no responsibility for the cost incurred in repairing the vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from the installation of accessories
not supplied or not recommended by PEUGEOT and not installed in accordance with
its recommendations, in particular when the combined power consumption of all of
the additional equipment connected exceeds 10 milliamperes.
