Fuse box
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits or overloads, each individual electrical circuit is equipped with a fuse. Fuse boxes are located in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment of the vehicle.
Inside the vehicle, the fuse box is located behind the glove compartment, which is located in front of the driver's seat, as shown in the figure.
In the engine compartment, the fuse box is located as shown in the figure.
Press button A.
Remove the cover.
Nominal currents of fuse links
The fuse ratings and the names of the electrical systems that correspond to them are marked on the inside of the coin compartment for the fuses located in the driver's footwell and on the fuse box cover for the fuse box in the engine compartment.

Note: Spare fuses are located in the fuse box. When replacing a blown fuse, always use a fuse with the same amperage rating.
Depending on the specific vehicle model and its configuration, some of the listed fuses may not be installed.
The table below lists the main equipment that is related to the fuse that protects the circuits of this equipment.
The fuse box does not include spare fuses 7.5 A, 10 A and 15 A. If one of the fuses of this capacity fails, replace it by using one of the following fuses, respectively:
- 7.5 A – cruise control;
- 10 A – air conditioning compressor;
- 15 A – cigarette lighter.
Replace the fuses at the earliest opportunity.
Replacing the fuse
Before replacing a fuse, be sure to turn off the electrical circuit protected by the fuse and turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position.
Open the glove compartment.
Pull the glove box towards you until it stops and remove it.
Remove tool B from fuse box cover A.
Check the fuse that protects the faulty circuit using the fuse rating table.
C – good fuse.
D – blown fuse.
Note: If the system does not operate but the fuse serving the circuit is not blown, something else is causing the malfunction and should be identified and corrected by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
Using a fuse puller, insert a new fuse of the same rating into the same location in the fuse box where the blown fuse was.
Warning! Never install a fuse with a rated current greater than that specified by technical requirements, or any substitutes for fuses, such as wire, foil, etc. This may cause overheating of the electrical wiring and cause a fire.
