Battery The vehicle battery is maintenance-free.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at an
appropriate recycling collection point.
The retrofitting of electrical or electronic
accessories may subject the battery to
additional loading and cause it to become
discharged. Please seek advice concerning
the technical options, such as installing a
more powerful battery. Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to battery discharge.
Disconnect the negative terminal of the
vehicle battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off before
connecting or disconnecting the vehicle
battery.
Protecting electronic components In order to prevent faults in electronic
components in the electrical system, never
connect or disconnect battery with engine
running or ignition switched on. Never start
engine with battery disconnected, e.g.
when starting using jump leads.
To avoid damaging the vehicle, do not
make any modifications to the electrical
system, e. g. connecting additional
consumers or tampering with electronic
control units (chip tuning).
9 Warning
Electronic ignition systems generate very
high voltages. Do not touch the ignition
system; high voltage can be fatal.
