WARNING
If you manipulate, bridge or replace a
faulty fuse with a fuse of a higher amper-
age, the electric cables could be overloa-
ded. This may result in a fire. There is a
risk of an accident and injury.

Always replace faulty fuses with specified
new fuses of the correct amperage.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for smart vehicles and which have the
correct fuse rating for the system con-
cerned. Components or systems could
otherwise be damaged.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to discon-
nect faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the
components on the circuit and their func-
tions will fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings
are listed in the fuse allocation chart
Y
( page 243).
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have
the cause traced and rectified at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
