Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with water
and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and explosive. Keep
flames or sparks away from battery, avoid
improper connection of jumper cables,
smoking, etc. G
WARNING
Do not place any metal objects on a battery.
You could otherwise cause a short circuit
and the battery’s highly flammable chemi-
cals could ignite.
Never allow any metal object to contact both
battery terminals or the positive terminal and the vehicle body at the same time. This
might short circuit the battery and ignite
the highly flammable and explosive hydro-
gen gas generated by the battery, causing
serious personal injury. G
WARNING
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc. R When disconnecting the battery, always
disconnect the negative terminal first,
followed by positive terminal.
R When connecting the battery, always con-
nect the positive terminal first, fol-
lowed by the negative terminal.
R Do not loosen or disconnect the battery
terminal clips while the drive system is
running or the key is in the starter
switch.
! Never loosen or detach battery terminal
clamps while the drive system is running or the key is in the starter switch. Oth-
erwise, electronic components could be
severely damaged.
Have the battery checked regularly at an
authorized electric drive smart center. Refer to Maintenance Booklet for main-
tenance intervals or contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for fur-
ther information.
! Never invert the terminal connections! Notes on the high‑voltage battery
Have work on the high-voltage battery per- formed by an authorized electric drive
smart center only. Observe the safety noteson (Y page 16) as well as the notes on the 12-
volt battery (Y page 197). G
WARNING
The electrolyte of the high-voltage bat-
tery, i.e. the battery fluid, is toxic and
caustic. Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing, for
example in case of an accident.
In case it does, immediately flush affected area with water and seek medical help
immediately.
The high-voltage battery is located in the
vehicle underbody. Keep this in mind when
jacking up the vehicle. The vehicle has
designated take-up brackets for the jack.
For more information, see (Y page 196).
! Only position the jack on the designa-
ted take-up brackets.
You must not position the jack under the
high-voltage battery. Otherwise, the
high-voltage battery could be damaged. 198

Disconnecting the 12-volt battery i
If the 12-volt battery is disconnected
or discharged
R turning the key in the starter switch
will have no effect
R the transmission will remain in park

For more information see “Jump start-
ing” (Y page 200).
X Engage the parking brake.
X Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
X Turn off all electrical accessories.
X Switch off the drive system.
X Open the passenger door.
X Move the passenger seat to the rear as far
as possible.
X Unscrew the carpet holder in the
passenger footwell (Y page 160).
X Lift the carpet. X
Unscrew fastening screw ;counter-
clockwise.
X Pull footrest :sideways out of the vehi-
cle.
X Read and observe safety instructions and
precautions (Y page 197). !
Always disconnect the battery in the
order described below. Otherwise the
vehicle’s electronics can be damaged.
X Disconnect the battery negative lead
from negative terminal =.
Make sure the negative lead does not
come into contact with the positive lead.
X Remove cover ?from the positive ter-
minal.
X Disconnect the battery positive lead.
Removing the 12-volt battery X
Unscrew battery mount A.
X Remove the battery support and bracket.
X Pull out the ventilation hose from the
battery.
Depending on battery arrangement in
your vehicle model, the ventilation hose
is located either on the left or right sideof the battery.
X Remove the battery.
Charging the 12-volt battery G
WARNING
Avoid creating sparks when charging the
battery as escaping gases are flammable.
Keep open flames away from the battery and do not smoke.
Do not touch the battery terminal with metal
objects and do not remove the battery
charger’s terminal clamps until the battery charger has been switched off and no fur- Batteries

ther gas is being discharged by the bat-
teries.
Only charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
There is a risk of acid burns during the
charging procedure due to the gases which
escape from the battery. Do not lean over
the battery when it is being charged. G
WARNING
Never charge a battery while still installed in the vehicle. Gases may escape during
charging and cause explosions that may
result in paint damage, corrosion or per-
sonal injury.
X Charge battery in accordance with the
instructions of the battery charger man-
ufacturer.
! Only use chargers of a correct and suit-
able voltage.
! Never attempt to recharge a frozen bat-
tery. Have the battery checked at a smart center. The battery housing could be
damaged.
Reinstalling the 12-volt battery X
Reinstall the charged battery. Follow the
previously described steps in reverse
order.
! The battery, its filler caps and the ven-
tilation hose must always be securely
installed when the vehicle is in opera-
tion.
Reconnecting the 12-volt battery !
Always connect the battery in the order
described below. Otherwise the vehi-
cle’s electronics can be damaged.
X Turn off all electrical accessories.
X Remove the key from the starter switch.
! Never invert the terminal connections! X
Connect the battery positive lead and
fasten cover ?(Ypage 199).
X Connect battery negative lead =
(Y page 199).
i After battery power (e.g. due to recon-
nection) was interrupted, you will have
to set the clock (Y page 94).
i Have the battery’s charge status and
acid level checked at the start of the cold
season at a an authorized electric drive
smart center. Jump starting

WARNING
Failure to follow these directions will
cause damage to the electronic components, and can lead to a battery explosion and
severe injury or death.
Never lean over batteries while connecting
or jump starting, you might get injured.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with
water, and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and very explosive.
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc.
Attempting to jump start a frozen battery
can result in it exploding, causing per-
sonal injury.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
! Do not tow‑start vehicle. It is not pos-
sible to tow-start the vehicle. Attempt-
ing to do so may seriously damage the
drivetrain which would not be covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
If the 12-volt battery is discharged, the
drive system cannot be started, regardless 200

of whether the high-voltage battery is
charged or not. Jump starting will not help
to start the drive system if the high-volt-
age battery is drained. The high-voltage
battery must then be charged.
The drive system can be started with jumper cables and the fully charged battery of
another vehicle or an equivalent starter
pack.
Observe the following:
R Do not start the drive system if the bat-
tery is frozen. Let the battery thaw out
first.
R Only jump start from batteries with the
same voltage rating (12 V). Jump starting with a more powerful battery could dam-
age the vehicle’s electrical system. Such
damage will not be covered by the smart
Limited Warranty.
R Only use jumper cables with sufficient
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
R Should the battery be drained com-
pletely, let the donating power source
charge the vehicle for several minutes
before reattempting the starting proc-
ess. G
WARNING
Keep flames or sparks away from battery. Do
not smoke.
