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
Using incorrect fuses can result in damage to
electrical components or systems or their
functions being considerably restricted.
Use only fuses approved for Mercedes-
#
Benz with the respective specified fuse
rating.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the
same rating, which you can recognize by the color
and the label. 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 (
page 407).

system or cause it to malfunction.
When the fuse box is open, make sure
#
that no moisture can enter the fuse box.
When closing the fuse box, make sure
#
that the seal of the lid is positioned cor-
rectly on the fuse box.
