Passenger Compartment Fuel Panel
The passenger compartment fuse panel is conveniently positioned on the right-hand side of the passenger footwell, concealed behind a trim panel.
To reach the fuse panel, just pull the trim panel towards you and swing it away from the side.
When putting the trim panel back, align the tabs with the grooves on the panel, and firmly push it to securely close it. This user-friendly procedure makes it simple to remove and reinstall the trim panel, granting convenient access to the passenger compartment fuse panel.
Note: It may be easier to access the fuse panel if you remove the finish trim piece.
