Notes on changing fuses
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-
nents on the circuit and their functions will
fail.
i
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses
of the same rating (which can be recog-
nised by the colour and amperage) and
which have the amperage specified in the
fuse allocation chart. A Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre will be happy to advise you.
G Risk of fire
Only use fuses that have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which have
the correct amperage for the system con-
cerned. Do not attempt to repair or bridge
faulty fuses. A circuit overload could other-
wise cause a fire. Have the cause traced
and rectified at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Practical advice
