towed away with both axles on the ground or

be loaded up and transported.

If the vehicle's transmission, front, or rear

axle is damaged, have the vehicle transported

on a truck or trailer.

In the event of damage to the electrical

system

If the battery is defective, the automatic

transmission will be locked in position P. To

or trailer.

Fuses

Important safety notes

WARNING

If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if

you replace it with a fuse with a higher amper-

age, the electric cables could be overloaded.

This could result in a fire. There is a risk of an

accident and injury.

Always replace faulty fuses with the specified

new fuses having the correct amperage.

Only use fuses that have been approved

for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which

have the correct fuse rating for the system

concerned. Only use fuses marked with an

"S". Otherwise, components or systems

could be damaged.

Fuses

Breakdown assistance

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 stop

operating.

Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of

the same rating, which you can recognize by

the color and value. The fuse ratings are listed

in the fuse allocation chart.

If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have the

cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop, e.g. an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

Before changing a fuse

Secure the vehicle against rolling away

(Y page 159).

Switch off all electrical consumers.

Turn the SmartKey to position 0 in the igni-

tion lock and remove it (Y page 143). All

indicator lamps in the instrument cluster

must be off.

The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:

Fuse box in the engine compartment on the

left-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed

Fuse box in the front-passenger footwell

The fuse allocation chart is on the fuse box in

the front-passenger footwell (Y page 322).
