Observe the service intervals in the Service
Booklet or contact aqualified specialist
workshop for more information.
! You should have all work involving the
battery carried out at aqualified specialist
workshop. In the exceptional case that it is
necessary for you to disconnect the battery yourself, make sure that:
R you switch off the engine and remove the
key. On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO,
ensure that the ignition is switched off.
Check that all the indicator lamps in the
instrument cluster are off. Otherwise,
electronic components, such as the
alternator, may be damaged.
R you first remove the negative terminal
clamp and then the positive terminal
clamp. Never swap the terminal clamps.
Otherwise, the vehicle's electronic sys-
tem may be damaged.
R in vehicles with automatic transmission,
the transmission is locked in position P
after disconnecting the battery. The vehi-
cle is secured against rolling away. You
can then no longer move the vehicle.
The battery and the cover of the positive
terminal clamp must be fitted securely dur- ing operation.
Comply with safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when handling batteries. WARNING
Fire, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited when handling the
battery. Avoid creating sparks.
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid con-
tact with the skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear suitablep rotective clothing,
in particularg loves, an apron and a
face mask.
Immediately rinse acid splashes
off with clean water. Consult adoc-
tor if necessary. Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.
Observe this Owner's Manual.
HYBRID vehicles: make sure that you read
the "HYBRID" Supplement included in the
vehicle literature. You could otherwise fail to
recognise dangers, e.g. due to high voltage.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use batteries which have been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz.T hese batteries provide
increased impact protection to prevent vehi-
cle occupants from suffering acid burns
should the battery be damagedint he event of
an accident.
In order for the battery to achieve the maxi-
mum possibles ervice life, it must always be
sufficiently charged.
The vehicle battery, like other batteries, can
discharge over time if you do not use the
vehicle. In such cases, have the battery dis-
connected at aqualified specialist workshop.
You can also charge the battery with a
charger recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
For more information, pleasec ontactaquali-
fied specialist workshop.
Have the battery charge checked more fre-
quently if you use the vehicle mainly for short
trips or if you leave it standing idle for a
lengthy period. Consult aqualified specialist
workshop if you wish to leave your vehicle
parked up for along period of time.
i When you park the vehicle, remove the
key if you do not require any electrical con-
sumers. The vehicle will then use very little energy, thus conserving battery power. Battery (vehicle)
