Mercedes-Benz GLC : 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 overloaded.
This could result in a fire.
Always replace faulty
fuses with specified
new fuses containing the correct
amperage.
NOTE Damage due to incorrect fuses
Electrical components or systems may be
damaged by incorrect fuses, or their functionality
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 and the labeling. The fuse ratings and further
information to be observed can be found in
the fuse assignment diagram.
Fuse assignment diagram: on the fuse box in
the cargo compartment.
NOTE Damage or malfunctions caused
by moisture
Moisture may cause damage to the electrical
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 correctly
on the fuse box.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Ensure the following before replacing a fuse:
- The vehicle is secured against rolling away.
- All electrical consumers are switched off.
- The ignition is switched off.

boxes:
- Fuse box in the engine compartment on the
driver's side
- Fuse box on the driver's side of the cockpit
- Fuse box in the front passenger footwell
- Fuse box in the cargo compartment on the
right-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed
in the direction of travel
