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.
The following aids are available to help you
replace fuses (

Blown fuses must be replaced by like fuses
(recognizable by the color and amperage) with

tion chart. A Mercedes-Benz Center will be hap-
py to advise you.
Only change fuses while the vehicle is parked.
First switch off all electrical consumers and turn
off the ignition.

G
Only use fuses approved by Mercedes-Benz
with the specified amperage for the system
in question. Using other fuses may cause an
overload leading to a fire, and/or cause
damage to electrical components and/or
systems.!
Keep the fuse boxes free by contamination
and wetness. Otherwise, electrical parts or sys-
tems could be damaged.
!
Never attempt to repair or bridge a blown
fuse. Have the cause determined and remedied
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Switch off the vehicle’s internal electrical
functions (
