• Open the engine hood ¢ page 233.
• Remov e the cover (!) by pressing on the ar
row ¢
fig. 201.
• Open the cover @on the positive term inal.
• Connect the charger connectors according
to the instruct ions to the
jump start bolts.
(Bolts under the cover = "positive ", Bolts
with hex head= "negative").
• Only now plug the mains lead for the charg
i ng equipment into the wall outlet and turn
iton ¢,&. .
• Make sure the charging rate is not over
30 amps/14.8 Volt.
• When the battery is fully charged: Turn the
charging equ ipment off and remove the
mains lead from the wall outlet.
• Now remove the clamps for the charging
equipment.
• Close the cover @on the positive term inal
and re-install the cover (!).

A discharged battery can freeze at tempera
tures of on ly 32 °F (0 °C). A llow a frozen bat
tery to thaw completely befo re attempt ing to
cha rge it~ &. . H owever, we recommend not
using a thawed battery again because the bat
tery casing can be cracked due to ice forma
tion and can leak battery acid.
Battery charging (Maximum charging rate
of
30 amps/14.8 Volt)
When charging at low voltages (e.g . with a
trickle charger ), the battery cables do not
have to be d isconnected first. The battery
caps should
not be opened when charging a
battery .
It is not necessary to remove the battery from
the luggage compartment.
Fast charging the battery (charging rate
above 14.8 Volts )
For technical reasons do not use a battery
charger that uses voltage greater than 14.8
Volts to charge your vehicle's battery.
.&_ WARNING
Charging a battery can be dangerous. -
Always follow the operating instructions
provided by the battery charger manu
facturer when charging your battery.
- Never charge a frozen battery. It may ex
plode because of gas trapped in the ice.
Allow a frozen battery to thaw out first.
- Do not reuse batteries wh ich were fro
zen. The battery housing may have
cracked and weakened when the battery
froze.
- Charge the battery in a well ventilated
area. Keep away from open flame or elec
tr ica l spark. Do not smoke. Hydrogen gas
generated by the battery is explosive.
- To reduce the danger of explosion, never
connect or disconnect charger cab les
while the charger is ope rat ing.
- Fast charging a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a compe
tent technician with the proper equip
ment.
- Battery acid that may spill dur ing charg
ing should be washed off with a solution
of warm wat er and baking soda to neu
tralize the acid.
(I) Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to
start the engine. This will seriously dam
age sensitive electronic components, such
as contro l units, re lays, radio, etc., as well
as the battery charger.
Battery replacement
The new battery must have the same specifi
cations and dimensions as the original equip
ment battery.
Intelligent energy management in your vehi
cle is responsible for distributing the electri
ca l energy throughout your vehicle
¢
page 203 . The intelligent energy manage
ment system will keep the engine battery
charged better then vehicles without this sys
tem . To make sure the additional electrical en
ergy is ava ilable once again after you have
changed the battery, we recommend that you ..,.

Gross Axle Weight Rating
The G ross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum
lo ad that can be applied at each axle of the
vehicle
q .&. .
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capac ity we ight (max. load) is list
ed on the driver 's side 8-p illar.
Roof weight
The maximum permissible roof weight is
165 lbs (75 kg). The roof weight is made up
of the weight of the roof rack system and the
weight of the object be ing transported
q page 72, Roof load .
..&, WARNING
- The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at
the front and rear axles sho uld not ex
ceed the permissible weights, and their
combination must not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating.
- Exceeding permissible we ight ratings can
result in vehicle damage, accidents and
persona l injury.
Q) Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to
the rear axle as possible so that the veh i
cle's handling is not impaired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight . Always remember that the vehi
cle's handling will be affected by the ex
tra load. Therefore, adjust your speed ac
cordingly.
- Always observe local regulations.
