Practical Tips, Emergency Service

Fuses 

In order to prevent damage to the electrical 

system due to short circuits and overloads, the 

individual circuits are protected by fuses.
One fuse box is located in the driver's footwell 

under the dashboard and one additional fuse box 

is located in the engine compartment over the 

right rear wheel.
The fuse plan and instructions A for emergency 

unlocking of the engine compartment lid can be 

found on the cover of the fuse box in the driver's 

footwell.
A plastic gripper and spare fuses are in the upper 

section of the fuse box in the driver's footwell.

Important note 
f If a fuse blows repeatedly, please immediately 

consult an authorized Porsche dealer, so that 

the short circuit can be located and corrected. 

f Never try to “repair” fuses: you may cause se-

rious damage to other parts of the electrical 

system.

Replacing fuses
1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Pull the Tenax stud B and pull the cover of the 

fuse box downward at the finger hole (arrow) 

and remove.

3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot to

A blown fuse can be identified by the melted 

metal strip.

4. Only replace it with a fuse of the same rating.
