R you first remove the negativ eterminal
clamp and then the positive terminal
clamp. Never swap the terminal clamps.
Otherwise, the vehicle's electronic sys-
tem may be damaged.
R the transmission is locked in position P
after disconnectingt he battery. The vehi-
cle is secured against rolling away. You
can then no longer move the vehicle.
The batter yand the cover of the positive
terminal clamp must be installed securely
during operation.
Comply with safety precaution sand take pro-
tective measures when handling batteries. Risk of explosion.
Fire, open flames and smoking are

mends that you only use batteries which have been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. These batteries provide increased impact protection to preven
tvehi-
cle occupants from sufferin gacid burns
should the batter ybedamaged in the event of
an accident.
In order for the batter ytoachieve the maxi-
mum possible servic elife, it must alway sbe
sufficiently charged.
The vehicle battery, like other batteries, can
discharge over time if you do not use the
vehicle. In this case, have the batter ydiscon-
nected at aqualified specialist workshop. You

vehicle and do not require any electrical
consumers. The vehicle will then use very
little energy, thus conservin gbattery
power.
i If the batter
ypower supply has been inter-
rupted, e.g. if the batter ywas fully dis-
charged, you will need to reset the "exterior

The Tire and Loading Informatio nplacard is
on the B-pillar on the driver's side
(Y page 260).
The Tire and Loading Informatio nplacard con-
tains the recommende dtire pressures for
col dtires. The recommende dtire pressures
ar ev alid for the maximum permissibl eload

The tire pressure table contains the recom-
mended pressures for col dtiresfor various
