Fuses
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 over-
loaded. 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 amperage.
!Only use fuses that have been approvedfor Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which havethe correct fuse rating for the system con-cerned. Only use fuses marked with an "S".Otherwise, components or systems could bedamaged.
!Make sure that no moisture can enter thefuse box when the cover is open.
!When closing the cover, make sure that itis lying correctly on the fuse box. Moistureseeping in or dirt could otherwise impair theoperation of the fuses.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close downfaulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-nents on the circuit and their functions stopoperating.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses ofthe same rating, which you can recognize bythe color and value. The fuse ratings, andother items of information to be complied withare, listed in the fuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is in the fuse box inthe front-passenger footwell (Ypage 302).
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have thecause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-cialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Before changing a fuse
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away(Ypage 145).
