Fuses
WARNING
To avert the risk of short circuiting and
damage to the car’s electrical system,
always observe the following advice:
• We recommend that you contact an
authorised Cadillac workshop before
modifying or connecting any electrical
equipment. Incorrect installation could
damage the electrical system.
• Never replace a fuse with one having
a higher rating than specified, see
page 206. The colour of the fuse indicates
its amperage.
• If the same fuse blows repeatedly,
have the car’s electrical system
checked at a workshop. We recommend
that you contact an authorised
Cadillac workshop.
• If a MAXI fuse blows, there is a major
fault in the electrical system. Have
the car checked at a workshop. We
recommend that you contact an
authorised Cadillac workshop.
The fuses are housed in three electrical
centres: one behind a hatch on the left-hand
end of the fascia, one in the engine bay
(additional small unit in front of battery on
certain variants) and one on the left-hand
side of the luggage compartment. There is
space for spare fuses in the hatch on the
left-hand end of the fascia.
Sound fuse/Blown fuse
To check if a fuse has blown, first remove it
from the panel. If the filament is broken, the
fuse has blown.
