Risk of inju
ry
Fo rs afety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. Thes ebatteries provide
increased impact protection to prevent vehi-
cle occupant sfrom suffering aci dburns
should the battery be damaged in the event
of an accident.
To prevent acid burns, observe the following
safety notes when handling batteries:
R do not lean over the battery.
R do not place any metal objects on abattery.
Otherwise ,you coul dcause ashort circuit
and the battery's gas mixtur ecould ignite.
R mak esure that you do not create an elec-
trostatic charge, e.g. by wearing synthetic
clothing or as aresult of friction on fabrics.
Therefore, you should not pull or slide the
batter yover carpets or other synthetic
materials.
R neve rtouch the battery first. To discharge
ap ossible electrostatic charge, step out of
the vehicle first and touc hthe bodywork.
R do not wipe the battery usin gacloth. The
battery may explode as aresult of electro-
static charge or due to flying sparks.
! Switc hoff th eengine and remove the key
before disconnectin gthe termi nalclamps
from the battery .Onvehicles with KEY-
LE SS -GO, make sure that the ignition is
switched off. Check that all the indicator
lamps in the instrument cluste rare off.
Otherwise, yo umay destroy electronic
components, such as the alternator.
i Remove the key if you park the vehicle
and do not require any electrical consum-
ers. The vehicle will then use very little
energy, thus conserving battery power.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you do not
carr yout work on batteries yourself, e.g.
removing, charging or replacing. Always have this work performed at
aqualified specialist
workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Ben zService
Cent re. Installation location of the battery
Your vehicle is equippe dwithabatter yint he
engin ecompartmen t. Itis located on the front
bulkhea dunder the filter box on the right-
hand sid eofthe vehicle when viewed in the
direction of travel.
X Appl ythe parkin gbrake firml yand on vehi-
cles with automati ctransmission, shift the
transmission to position P.
X Switch off all electrica lconsumers, e.g.
radio, blower ,etc.
X Turn the key to position 0(Ypage 135) in
the ignition lock and remove it, or, with
KEYLESS-GO, make sure that the ignition
has bee nswitched off (Y page 135). All
indicator lamps must be off in the instru-
ment cluster.
