Replacing bulbs
Replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is there-
fore essential that all bulbs and lamp as-
semblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. See an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for headlamp ad-
justment.iIf the headlamps or front fog lamps are
fogged up on the inside as a result of high humid-
ity, driving the vehicle a distance with the lights
on should clear up the fogging.iSubstitute bulbs will be brought into use
when the following lamps malfunction:

Brake lamps

Rear fog lamps

Front parking lamps

Tail lamps

Turn signal lamps
Read and observe messages in the multifunction
display (
page 580).

Fuses
Fuses
The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to
switch off malfunctioning power circuits.
If a fuse is blown, the component(s) and
systems secured by that fuse will stop op-
erating.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have
the cause determined and rectified by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The following aids are available to help you
replace fuses. They are located in the trunk
with the vehicle tool kit (
page 632):

Fuse chart
The fuse chart explains the fuse alloca-
tion and fuse amperages.

Spare fuses

Special fuse extractor
The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:

in the dashboard on the passenger side
(
page 669)

in the dashboard on the driver’s side
(
page 669)

behind the rear center armrest
(
page 669)

on the driver’s side of the engine com-
partment (
page 668)

on the passenger side of the engine
compartment (
page 668)
Before replacing fuses:
Engage the electronic parking brake
(
page 384).
Make sure the automatic transmission
is set to P (
page 389).
The gear position indicator in the ta-
chometer display should be on P.
Turn off all electrical consumers.
Turn off the engine (page 387).
Switch off the vehicle’s internal electri-
cal functions (
page 658).
Warning!G
Only use fuses approved by Mercedes-Benz
with the specified amperage for the system
in question and do not attempt to repair or
bridge a blown fuse. Using other than ap-
proved fuses or using repaired or bridged
fuses may cause an overload leading to a
fire, and/or cause damage to electrical
components and/or systems. Have the
cause determined and remedied by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
!Switch off the vehicle’s internal electrical
functions (
page 658) when you are working on
the fuses.
iA blown fuse must be replaced by an appro-
priate spare fuse (recognizable by its color or the
fuse rating given on the fuse) of the amperage
recommended in the fuse chart.
Any Mercedes-Benz Center will be glad to advise
you on this subject.
