Fuses
왔 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 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
(
컄 page 400).
The electrical fuses are located in different
fuse boxes:
앫 on the driver’s side of the engine com-
partment (
컄 page 438)
앫 on the passenger side of the engine
compartment (
컄 page 438)
앫 under passenger-side rear storage
compartment (
컄 page 439)
앫 in the trunk (컄 page 439)
Before replacing fuses:
왘 Apply the parking brake (컄 page 63).
왘 Make sure the gear selector lever is set
to position P (
컄 page 172).
왘 Turn off all electrical consumers.
왘 Turn off the engine (컄 page 64).
왘 Remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch.
왘 Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*: Open

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
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
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.

In case of a blown fuse contact Roadside
Assistance or an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
