Practical hints Fuses Fuses 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. Warning! If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have the cause determined and rectified at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. The following aids are available to help you replace fuses. Fuse chart The fuse chart explains the fuse allocation and fuse amperages. The fuse chart is located in the main fuse box in the passenger compartment ( page 406). Spare fuses The spare fuses are located in the main fuse box in the passenger compartment ( page 406). Fuse extractor The fuse extractor is located in the vehicle tool kit in the rear footwell ( page 366). The electrical fuses are located in different fuse boxes: in the passenger compartment on the driver's side ( page 406) in the front passenger footwell ( page 406) in the middle tunnel ( page 407) in the battery box ( page 408) Before replacing fuses: Apply parking brake ( page 62). Make sure the gear selector lever is set to park position P ( page 162). Turn off all electrical consumers. Turn off the engine ( page 64). Remove the SmartKey from the starter switch. 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 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 at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. i 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-Light Truck Center will be glad to advise you on this subject. 405
