Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifi­
cations and dimensions as the original equip­
ment battery.
Intell igent energy management in your vehi­
cle is respons ible for d istributing the electri­
cal energy throughout your vehicle
~ page 197. The intel ligent energy ma nage­
ment system w ill keep the eng ine batte ry
charged be tte r than vehicles w ithout t his sys­
tem . To make sure the additional e lectrical en ­
ergy is available once again after you have
changed the battery, we recommend that you
install batteries of the same type and man u­
facture only (the same as those installed at
the time your vehicle was delivered). Specifi­
cations a re listed on the battery hous ing . Your
author ized dealer must code the battery in
the energy management system to enable you
to use the energy managemen t fu nctions co r­
rectly a fter replacing the battery .
The new battery must have the same capacity,
voltage (12-vo lts), a mperage, construct ion
and p lug sealing.
When installing the battery , make sure the ig ­
n ition and all e lectr ica l cons umers are sw itch­
ed off.
CD Note
Make sure the ventilation hose on the s ide
of the battery is connected, ot herwise
fumes or battery ac id can leak out.
- Vehicles with the Start-Stop-System* are
equipped with a specia l cycle-proof AGM
batte ry. Insta lling a different type of
batte ry can c ause prob lems in the vehi­
cle electrical system . When rep lacing the
vehicle battery, always insta ll one with
the same specifications as the original battery.
@ For the sake of the environment
