My 2012 owners manual suggests that it's either:
"Electronic Steering Lock Malfunction" or "Power steering Malfunction" and it sounds like it's the Steering Lock in your car, since "the ignition cannot be switched on" in that case.

The manual also cautions: "The vehicle must not be towed."

You need to find out why the fuses melted. Fuses usually don't melt. What shape are the fuse sockets in? Are they melted too?
