Practical hints 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 by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. A fuse chart explains the fuse allocation and fuse amperages. It is located in the fuse box in the passenger compartment ( page 433). Before replacing fuses: Apply the parking brake ( page 59). Make sure the gear selector lever* is set to position P ( page 157) (manual transmission to Neutral). Turn off all electrical consumers. Turn off the engine ( page 61). 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 by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. i In case of a blown fuse contact Roadside Assistance or an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. The electrical fuses are located in different fuse boxes: in the passenger compartment on the driver's side ( page 433) on the driver's side of the engine compartment ( page 433) 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. 432
