Passenger Compartment Fuel Panel
The passenger compartment fuse panel is conveniently located on the right-hand side of the passenger footwell, hidden behind a trim panel.
To access the fuse panel, simply pull the trim panel towards you and swing it away from the side.
When reattaching the trim panel, align the tabs with the grooves on the panel and firmly push it to securely close it. This user-friendly process makes it easy to remove and reinstall the trim panel, providing 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.
