Blown fuses must be replaced by like fuses
(recognizable by the color and amperage) with
the amperage recommended in the fuse alloca-
tion chart. A Mercedes-Benz Center will be hap-

Only change fuses while the vehicle is parked.
First switch off all electrical consumers and turn
off the ignition.

Only use fuses approved by Mercedes-Benz
