2. Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses circuit breakers and fusible thermal links This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have a spare fuse you can borrow one that has the same amperage Just pick some feature of the vehicle that you can get along without like the radio or cigarette lighter and use its fuse if it is the correct amperage Replace it as soon as you can The vehicle also has a special fuse in the battery box for the 300 volt batteries If this fuse has failed and needs to be replaced the vehicle will be disabled and you will need to have the vehicle repaired by your dealer retailer Do not attempt to self service this fuse Underhood Fuse Block Hybrid Auxiliary Underhood Fuse Block The hybrid underhood fuse block is located in the engine compartment near the front of the vehicle Lift the cover for access to the fuse relay block See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 4 for more information on its location For more information on the main underhood fuse block see Underhood Fuse Block in the owner manual MEGA ene FAN E MID t E s E D TRANS PUMP O 9 H bm MID2 COOL PUMP E FAN CNTRL uh Be IL ege Cl BEMFAN 4
