Accessing the tools

The extraction tweezers are located behind the fusebox cover.

Depending on version:

• Unclip the cover by pulling at the top left, then right.
• Remove the cover completely.
• Take the tweezers from their housing.

• Open the glove box.
• Press on the central handle of the fusebox cover.
• Lower the cover completely.

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.
