mends that you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. These batteries provide
increase dimpac tprotection to prevent vehi-
cle occupant sfroms ufferin gacid burns
should th ebattery be damaged in th eevent
of an accident.
To prevent acid burns, observe th efollowing
safet ynotes when handling batteries:
R do not lean over th ebattery.
R do not place any metal object sonabattery.
Otherwise, you could cause ashor tcircuit
and th ebattery's gas mixtur ecould ignite.
R mak esure that you do not create an elec-
trostatic charge, e.g .bywearingsynthetic
clothin gorasar esult of frictio nonfabrics.
Therefore, you should not pull or slide the
battery over carpet sorother synthetic
materials. R
never touc hthe battery first. To discharge
ap ossible electrostatic charge, step out of
th ev ehicle firs tand touc hthe bodywork.
R do not wipe th ebattery using acloth. The
battery may explode as aresult of electro-
static charge or due to flyin gsparks.

removal, charging and replacement, car-
ried out at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g .aM ercedes-Ben zServic eCentre.
