Battery
289step out of the vehicle first and touch the
bodywork.
R Do not wipe the battery using a cloth. The
battery may explode as a result of elec-
trostatic charge or through the creation
of sparks.
! Switch the engine off and remove the key
before unscrewing or disconnecting the
terminal clamps from the battery. You may
otherwise destroy electronic components
such as the alternator.
Have the battery checked and, if neces-
sary, replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre, every two years or at least every
20,000 km.
i Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
have all work involving the battery, e.g.
removing, charging and replacing, carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g.
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Installation location of the battery Your vehicle is equipped with a battery in the
boot. It is located under the cover in the spare
wheel well. 1
Electrostatic protection
2 Battery 1
Positive terminal (under cover)
2 Negative terminal Electrostatic protection G
Risk of injury
Only use rechargeable batteries with elec-
trostatic protection fitted. The electrostatic
protection prevents the creation of sparks
due to electrostatic buildup, thereby pre-
venting the highly explosive mixture of
gases in the battery from igniting.
i You can obtain the electrostatic protec-
tion from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
X To remove: pull the electrostatic protec-
tion upwards and remove.
X To fit: push the electrostatic protection
firmly onto the battery. Practical advice
