Electrical fuses

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

If you manipulate, bridge or replace a faulty

fuse with a fuse of a higher amperage, the

electric

cables could be overloaded. This may

result in a fire. There is a risk of an accident

and injury.

Always replace faulty fuses with specified new

fuses of the correct amperage.

!

Only use fuses that have been approved

for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which

have the correct fuse rating for the system

concerned. Only use fuses marked with an

"S". Components or systems could other-

wise be damaged.

The fuses in your vehicle serve to disconnect

faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-

nents on the circuit and their functions will

fail.

Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of

the same rating, which you can recognise by

the colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings

are listed in the fuse allocation chart.

If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the

cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz

Service Centre.

Before replacing a fuse

X

Secure the vehicle against rolling away

(Y page 162).

X

Switch off all electrical consumers.

X

Turn the key to position 0 in the ignition

lock and remove it (Y page 143). All indi-

cator

lamps in the instrument cluster must

be off.

The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:

R

fuse

box in the engine compartment on the

left-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed

in the direction of travel

R

fuse box in the front-passenger footwell
