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
amperage, the electric line could be overloa‐
ded.
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 could be
damaged by incorrect fuses.
Only use fuses which have been
#
approved by Mercedes-Benz and which
have the correct fuse rating.
The electrical fuses in your vehicle switch off
defective circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo‐
nents on the circuit and their functions will cease
to operate.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of an
equivalent specification, which you can deter‐
mine by the color and fuse rating. The fuse allo‐
cation chart and further information on the elec‐
tric fuses and relays can be found in the "Fuse
allocation chart" supplement.
