Where is the fuse box diagram located for the 2013 Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
The fuse box of the Volkswagen Lavida is located inside the instrument panel cover on the left side of the driver's seat. Open the driver's side door, then use a flat-head object to insert into the cover groove and carefully pry open the cover to reveal the fuses inside. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The purpose of automotive fuses is similar to household fuses - they melt when circuit current exceeds rated current to provide circuit protection. Vehicle fuses are broadly divided into two types: fast-acting fuses and slow-blow fuses. 2. Function: Common automotive fuses include high-current fuses and medium/low-current fuses. The more accessible ones are typically medium/low-current fuses. These can be further categorized into blade-type fuses (including auto fuses and mini fuses), plug-in fuses, bolt-down fuses, tubular fuses and flat-type fuses. The most commonly encountered are medium ATO or small fast-acting blade fuses. Blade fuses can handle small currents and short-duration pulse currents, such as for headlight circuits or rear window defrosters.
I've been driving a 2013 Lavida for several years. The fuse box reference chart is located under the dashboard near the driver's seat. The specific position is where your left foot rests on the floor - just bend slightly and you'll see a black plastic cover about palm-sized. When you flip open the cover, there's a detailed diagram pasted on the inner wall showing each fuse number and its corresponding function like headlights, cigarette lighter, etc. There's another fuse box in the engine compartment, but the main reference chart is on the back of this interior cover. If a fuse blows (for example when headlights stop working), you need to quickly locate and check the number to replace it. While the manual has a backup diagram, checking the cover directly is more convenient. I recommend regular dust cleaning to prevent jamming - you don't want to be stuck in an emergency. I always check it when washing my car.
