WARNING
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher
amperage, the electric cables could be
overloaded. This could result in a fire. There
is a risk of an accident and injury.
Always replace faulty

fuses with the specified
new fuses having the correct amperage.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system
concerned. Only use fuses marked with an
"S". Otherwise, components or systems
could be damaged.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the
components on the circuit and their functions
stop operating.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognize by
the color and value. The fuse ratings are listed
in the fuse allocation chart.
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Before changing a fuse
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(Y page 149).
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0 in the
ignition lock and remove it (Y page 135).
All indicator lamps

in the instrument cluster
must be off.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
R Fuse box in

the engine compartment on the
left-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed
in the direction of travel
R Fuse box in the front-passenger footwell
The fuse allocation chart is on the fuse box in
the front-passenger footwell ( Y page 295). Fuse box in the engine compartment
