In case of rear axle damage

When the rear axle is raised, the vehicle can
only be towed with a wheel lift or a dolly
placed under its front wheels.

Stranded vehicle

Freeing a stranded vehicle, on which the
wheels are dug into sand or mud, should be
done with the greatest of care, especially if
the vehicle is heavily loaded.
Note the following when freeing a stranded
vehicle:

R

Avoid pulling the vehicle abruptly or
diagonally, since it could result in damage
to the chassis alignment.

R

Never try to free a vehicle that is still
coupled to a trailer.

R

If possible, a vehicle equipped with a trailer
hitch receiver should be pulled backward in
its own previously made tracks.

Fuses

Introduction

The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to
switch off malfunctioning power circuits.
If a fuse is blown, the components and
systems secured by that fuse will stop
operating.

G

Warning!

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
approved 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.

A blown fuse must be replaced by an
appropriate 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

Assistance or an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.

If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have the
cause determined and rectified by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The fuse chart is located in the fuse box in the
passenger compartment. The fuse chart
explains the fuse allocation and fuse
amperages.
