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-

If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have
the cause determined and rectified by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
