2. To access the fuses, open the cover on the front panel (pic. 3.2).
3. Circuits protected by fuses and relays are marked on the inside of the cover. The fuses are numbered. A list of circuits protected by fuses is given at the end this chapter.
4. In some models, there are additional fuses behind the relay installed in separate blocks.
5. To remove a fuse, first make sure that the ignition is off or the corresponding circuit is disconnected. Open the cover and pull the fuse out of the socket using the provided grip. A blown conductor is usually visible through the transparent fuse case.
6. Always use new fuses of the prescribed rating. Under no circumstances use fuses higher than prescribed, do not install temporary "bugs" in the form of paper clips, foil, etc. This leads to more serious damage, and even to a fire. The fuse rating is printed on its body. Please note that the fuses are colored in different colors according to the rating.
7. If the newly installed fuse blows immediately, do not install the next one. until you find out the cause - most often the cause is a short circuit in the target (on "mass"). If the fuse protects several circuits, disconnect them all and connect one at a time until the fuse blows again - this will make troubleshooting easier. Always install fuses of the prescribed rating. Spare fuses should be attached to the base of the fuse box.

8. On diesel models, the glow plug power supply circuit is protected by a fuse - a powerful fuse. The insert is located under a protective plastic cover at the rear of the engine compartment, behind the heater inlet deflector. A burnt insert indicates serious damage to the target or a shorted candle - do not replace the insert until the cause is clarified.
9. Before replacing the insert, disconnect the wire "masses" from the battery. Open the cover to access the insert. Loosen the fixing screws and remove the insert.
10. Install new insert (see information in p.p. 6 and 7) and securely tighten the fixing screws. Snap the lid.
Relay
11.. The relays are mounted on a common block, which can be accessed by removing the trim under the steering column (pic. 3.11).
12. The relay is a non-separable design, its repair is not provided. To replace the relay, it must be removed from the block. In some cases, to do this, press two latches outward.
13. If a malfunction occurs in a circuit or system controlled by a relay. and there is a suspicion of a relay malfunction, turn on the system. If the relay is functioning, clicks should be heard indicating that the relay is receiving power. If there are clicks, this indicates either a malfunction of the executive circuit, or a malfunction of the relay's executive contacts. If there are no clicks, then either the relay is faulty, or it does not receive power through the control circuit. To find the cause, substitute a known-good relay, but be careful - many relays look the same on the outside, but perform different functions.
14. Before replacing the relay, turn off the ignition. Remove the defective relay and insert a new, serviceable one.
Note: The turn signal/alarm relay is built into the hazard switch; the withdrawal procedure is described in paragraph 6.
