Probably not.

FYI, fuse number 5 powers:

LT monitoring unit
A/C comp ctrl relay
push button control unit
switchover valve group
aspirator blower
aux water pump
air injection relay
gear select sw

The relay M.B.DOC is talking about controls the air injection pump & switchover valve solenoid; one of those is probably bad. It's mainly an emissions item, but could affect driveability. Air pumps aren't required everywhere, so you might be OK without it.
