2014-2017 (-SA-)

- Figure shows fuse holder A -SA- for models with battery in engine compartment.
- In models with battery in luggage compartment, fuse holder A -SA- is fitted lengthways.
- The fuse strip (multifuse) must be replaced as a complete unit.
- For models with battery in engine compartment, from November 2014, fuse 5 on fuse holder A -SA5- is not present. This connection is therefore bridged. In the line (16.0 mm2, red), connected to -SA5- in the illustration, there is an inline fuse (single fuse in wiring harness coiled under the battery carrier), fuse 1 (30) – S204- (125A).
- Fuse 1 (30) – S204- can only be accessed when the battery and battery holder are removed.
