Electrical fuses
Notes on electrical fuses
& WARNING Risk of accident and injury due
to overloaded lines
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher amper-
age, the electric line could be overloaded.
This could result in a fire.
Always replace faulty fuses with speci-
#
fied new fuses containing the correct
amperage.
* NOTE Damage due to incorrect fuses
Electrical components or systems may be
damaged by incorrect fuses, or their function-
ality may be significantly impaired.
Only use fuses that have been approved
#
by Mercedes-Benz and which have the
correct fuse rating.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the
same rating, which you can recognize by the color
Breakdown assistance 329
and fuse rating. The fuse ratings and further infor-
mation to be observed can be found in the fuse
assignment diagram.
Fuse assignment diagram: on the fuse box in the
rear passenger compartment (

rectly on the fuse box.
