WARNING
If you manipulate, bridge or replace afaulty
fuse with afuse of ahigher amperage, the
electric cables could be overloaded. This may result in afire. There is arisk of an accident
and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with specified new fuses of the correct amperage.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse ratin gfor the system
concerned. Otherwise, components or sys-
tem scould be damaged.
The fuses in your vehicle serv etodisconnect
faulty circuits. If afuse blows, all the compo-
nents on the circuit and their function swill
fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings
are listed in the fuse allocation chart.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. Befor

WARNING
If you operate RF transmitter sincorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfer ewith the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not alow-reflection type
This could jeopardis ethe operatin gsafet yof
