Battery
!Switch offthe engine and remove thekey
before you loose nor disconnect the terminal
clamps from the batter y.You may otherwise de-
st roy electronic components, e.g. the alternator.
Have the starter batter yche cked and, ifneces-
sary, replaced every two years or at least every
20,000 km ata qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Merce des-Be nz Service Centre. The battery
islocated in the engine com-
partment on the right-hand side, when
vi ewed inthe direction of travel, on the
front bulk head and under the fil ter bo x.

Risk of inju ry For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use batteries which
have bee
nsp ecially tested and approved for
your vehicl eby Mercedes-Benz. These bat-
teries are more impact-re sistant so that oc-
cup ants do not suffer acid burns if a battery
is damaged in the event of an accident.
To prevent acid burn sand scald ing, you
must obse rve the following safety precau-
tions wh enhandling batteries:
! Do not lean over the battery.
! Do not place any metal objects on the
battery. You could otherwise cause a
short circuit and the highly explosive gas
mixture in the battery could ignite.
! Make sure that you do not become elec-
trostatically charged, e.g. by wearing
synthetic clothing or due to friction be-
tween fabric s.Do not therefore pull or
pu sh the battery over carpete dfloors or
other synthetic materials. !
Do not touch the battery under any ci r-
cums tances. To eliminate any electro-
static charge, first get out of the vehicle
and touch the bodywork.
! Do not rub the batt ery with a cloth. The
battery could explode due to electro-
static charging when you touch the bat-
tery or even by sparks ar cing between
you and the battery.

Risk of inju ry Never charge th
ebattery when it is fitted in
the vehicle. Youco uld otherwise dam age
the vehicle's electronics .Only charge the
battery ina well ventilated area. During the
ch arg ingp roce ss, gas esmay escapeand
generate minor explosi ons which could in-
jure you and oth ers or cause paint damage
or acid corrosion to the vehic le. G
Risk of acid burns During the charging process, there is a risk
of acid burns due to the gases escaping
from th ebattery. Do not lean over the bat-
