Where are the fuses located in the Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Fuse box

In the Opel Astra, the fuses in the engine compartment are located in the box near the battery: to access the fuses, we release the cover by acting on the side tabs, then lift the cover to remove it; the fuse box in the cabin is located on the left side of the steering wheel, there is a handle that needs to be pulled to lower a small door containing a storage compartment; once the storage compartment is open, we pull the sides of the compartment towards the center to release it from the dashboard and remove it; once the storage compartment is removed, we can find the fuses; finally, another fuse box is located in the trunk, to access it, remove the protection on the left side, remove the small door on the left side to access other fuses. To replace a fuse, we locate it, grip it with small pliers, pull it out and check if the bridge inside is intact, meaning the fuse is functioning, otherwise if the bridge inside is broken, the fuse needs to be replaced with one of the same amperage.
