Which compartment should contain the fuses and spare fuses?

The correct location for the fuses and spare fuses is indeed the rear passenger side compartment. This area is specifically designed to house electrical components, including fuses, in a manner that is both accessible for maintenance and safe from other operational systems, reducing the risk of accidental damage or disconnection. Having the fuses located in the rear compartment allows for easier troubleshooting and replacement without needing to access more sensitive areas like the engine compartment.

In contrast, placing fuses in the engine compartment could expose them to heat and moisture, potentially leading to premature failure or electrical issues. The driver’s side door is typically not a practical location for fuses, as it is not easily accessible for the driver or maintenance personnel when needed. Similarly, while the main passenger compartment could theoretically hold fuses, it is generally not the designated area to ensure safety and accessibility. Thus, the rear passenger side compartment is the most logical and common design choice for housing fuses and spare fuses.
