Fuses

a cover on the left side of the luggage
compartment and one in the front left of
the engine compartment.
It is advisable to carry a complete set of
fuses – available from any Vauxhall

Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse (see illustrations to the right)
can be recognised by its melted wire. Do
not install a new fuse until the cause of the
fault has been remedied.
There is a fuse extractor in the luggage
compartment fusebox to facilitate
replacement of small fuses – see illustration
above for an example.
Only fit fuses of the specified current
rating. Each fuse has its current rating
written on it, in addition the ratings are
colour coded.
