Important safety notes
GWARNING
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 speci-
fied new fuses having the correct amper-
age.
!Only use fuses that have been approved for
smart vehicles and which have the correct
fuse rating for the system concerned. Oth-
erwise, components or systems could be
damaged.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the com-
ponents 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 (
Ypage 175).
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
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away
(Ypage 100).
XSwitch off all electrical consumers.
XTurn the key to position 0in the ignition
lock and remove it (Ypage 87). All indica-
tor lamps in the instrument cluster must be off.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
RFuse box in the front area
RFuse box in the glove compartment
Fuse box in the front area
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Ypage 173).

while the service cover is open, there is a
danger of injury from the wiper arms. There
is a risk of injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers
and the ignition before opening the ser-
vice cover.
!Make sure that no moisture can enter the
fuse box when the cover is open.
!When closing the cover, make sure that it
is lying correctly on the fuse box. Moisture
seeping in or dirt could otherwise impair
the operation of the fuses.
XMake sure that the windshield wipers are
turned off.
XOpen the service cover (Ypage 151).
