Fuses

Important safety notes

WARNING
Only use fuses that have been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and that have the correct fuse rating for the systems concerned. Do not attempt to repair or bridge faulty fuses. Using fuses that have not been approved or attempting to repair or bridge faulty fuses could cause the fuse to be overloaded and result in a fire. Have the cause traced and rectified at a qualified specialist workshop.

The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the components on the circuit and their functions stop operating.

Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the same rating, which you can recognize by the color and value. The fuse ratings are listed in the fuse allocation chart.

If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have the cause traced and rectified at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Only use fuses that have been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which have the correct fuse rating for the system concerned. For the fuse boxes in the engine compartment and under the rear bench seat, only use fuses with the suffix "S".

Otherwise, components or systems could be damaged.

Before changing a fuse

– Park the vehicle and apply the electric parking brake.

– Switch off all electrical consumers.

– Remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.

The fuses are located in various fuse boxes: - fuse box on the front-passenger side of the dashboard
