Practical hints

Fuses

The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to
switch off malfunctioning power circuits.

If a fuse is blown, the components and sys-
tems secured by that fuse will stop operat-
ing.

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:

ț

Fuse chart

The fuse chart is located in the fuse box
in the passenger compartment
(

page 429). The fuse chart explains

the fuse allocation and fuse amperag-
es.

ț

Spare fuses

Spare fuses are located in the vehicle
tool kit in the trunk (

page 393).

ț

Fuse extractor

The fuse extractor is located in the ve-
hicle tool kit in the trunk (

page 393).

The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:

ment (

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.

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.
