Practical hints Fuses The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to switch off malfunctioning power circuits. If a fuse is blown, the component(s) and systems secured by that fuse will stop operating. Warning! ! Switch off the vehicle's internal electrical functions ( page 705) when you are working on the fuses. 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-Benz Center will be glad to advise you on this subject. The electrical fuses are located in different fuse boxes: in the dashboard on the passenger side ( page 716) in the dashboard on the driver's side ( page 716) behind the rear center armrest ( page 716) on the driver's side of the engine compartment ( page 715) on the passenger side of the engine compartment ( page 716) 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 by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have the cause determined and rectified by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. A fuse chart explains the fuse allocation and fuse amperages. It is located in the trunk with the vehicle tool kit ( page 681). i In case of a blown fuse contact Roadside Assistance or an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 714
