It is necessary to remove the fuses to see if they are blown, see next page for information on fuses and related circuits.

If you find it difficult to obtain access to the fuses, unclip the fuse tool on the right-hand side of the fuse compartment and use it to remove the fuse, see illustration.

1 Press the tool onto the fuse.
2 Pull the tool and fuse straight up
3 Pull out the fuse from the tool and push in a new fuse in the same way.
4 Push in the fuse in the fusebox with the tool.
5 Slide the tool out.

The fuses are removed by pulling them straight out. If they are defective, the metal wire is broken. When fitting a new fuse, be certain to use one with the same amperage and color as the one removed (see top of fuse)! Spare fuses are located on each side of the fusebox (1x15A, 1x25A, 1x30A).

	Replacing wiper blades Lift the wiper arm off the windshield and hold blade at right angles to arm. Pinch the end of the plastic clip located at the back of the arm. Slide the wiper blade along the arm to release it from the hook.
	Install new blade (installation is the reverse of removal) and make sure that it is properly attached to the wiper arm. for reasons of safety, you should change the windshield wiper blades as soon as they start to leave marks on the windshield or fail to wipe efficiently and cleanly.
	To obtain maximum lifetime from a set of wiper blades, clean them with a stiff-bristle brush and warm, soapy water as part of a normal car wash.

Adjusting washer nozzles

The washer jets should spray the windshield as shown. Use the edge of a small screwdriver to adjust the nozzles, if necessary.

Washer fluid reservoir

The washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and holds approx. 0.5 US gal. (2.0 liters) on sedan models and approx. 0.8 US gals (3.2 liters) on wagon models.
During cold weather, the reservoir should be filled with windshield washer solvent.

This section contains information which can be of help in the event of a breakdown. Only those faults which can be rectified with the vehicle's tool kit are listed.

The instructions for starting the engine have not been followed.
follow the instructions in section "Starting the engine".

The battery is poorly charged or dead
Start the vehicle by using an auxiliary battery.

Emergency sun roof operation

If, because of an electrical fault (e.g. a blown fuse), it is not possible to operate the sun roof electrically, then it is manually.
First, using a small screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the sun roof motor cover to the headliner. Then using a screwdriver, depress the white plastic clutch pin in the center of the motor screw (see illustration) and turn the screw to close or open the roof as desired.

The gear selector is locked in the P position. To manually release the shift lock, turn the starting (ignition) key to position I and press firmly on the "SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE" button located near the base of the gear selector (see illustration). While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the (P)ark position.
