Changing fuses

Plastic grippers for pulling out and inserting a fuse

If applicable, take the plastic grippers out of the fuse box or the cover of the fuse box.
Push the plastic grippers clip suitable for the fuse type onto the fuse from the top or the side.
Remove the fuse.
If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse with the same rating (same color and same markings) and same size.
Once the new fuse has been inserted, put the plastic grippers back in the cover.
Insert the cover again or close the fuse box cover.

NOTICE
