Practical hints
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.
A fuse chart explains the fuse allocation
and fuse amperages. It is located in the
trunk with the vehicle tool kit
(
୴ page 705).
The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:
ț in the dashboard on the passenger side
(
୴ page 743)
ț in the dashboard on the driver’s side
(
୴ page 743)
ț behind the rear center armrest
(
୴ page 744)
ț on the driver’s side of the engine com-
partment (
୴ page 742)
ț on the passenger side of the engine
compartment (

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 ( ୴ page 732) when you are working on
the fuses.
i A 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.
i In case of a blown fuse contact Roadside As-
sistance or an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
