The Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) is a luxury sedan that was produced from 2010 to 2016. It is powered by a variety of engines, including gasoline, diesel, and hybrid. The E-Class has many electrical components that are protected by fuses.
The fuses in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) are identified by their amperage rating and a color-coded coding system. The amperage rating is printed on the top of the fuse. The color-coded coding system is used to identify the function of the fuse.
