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 at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
A fuse chart explains the fuse allocation
and fuse amperages. It is located in the
main fuse box in the passenger compart-
ment (
୴ page 472).
The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:
ț in the passenger compartment on the
driver’s side (
୴ page 472)
ț on the driver’s side of the engine com-
partment (
୴ page 473)
ț in the trunk ( ୴ page 474)
Before replacing fuses:
̈ Apply the parking brake ( ୴ page 59).
̈ Make sure the gear selector lever is set
to position P (
୴ page 174).
̈ Turn off all electrical consumers.
̈ Turn off the engine ( ୴ page 60).
̈ Remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*:
̈ Open the driver’s door.

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 at an au-
thorized 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.
i In case of a blown fuse contact Roadside
Assistance or an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
!
Do not use sharp objects such as a screw
driver to open the fuse box cover 1 in the
cockpit, as this could damage it.
