Use of recommended vehicle batteries
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom- 
mends that you use vehicle batteries that it 
has tested and recommends for use in your 
vehicle; otherwise the vehicle could be 
damaged and systems or functions may not 
be fully available. 
After a battery replacement, the manufac- 
turer of your vehicle recommends that you 
have the battery registered on your vehicle 
by a service center to ensure that all com-
fort functions are fully available, and that 
any “check control” messages of these 
comfort functions are no longer displayed.

Changing wheels
Hints
When using run-flat tires or sealants, a tire
does not need to be changed immediately in
the event of pressure loss due to a flat tire.
Which is why no spare tire is available.
The tools for changing wheels are available as
accessories from your service center.
Jacking points for the vehicle jack
The jacking points for the vehicle jack are lo‐
cated at the positions shown.
Vehicle battery Maintenance
The battery is maintenance-free.
The added amount of acid is sufficient for the
service life of the battery.
Further information about the battery can be
obtained from your service center.
Battery replacement Use approved vehicle batteries only
Only use vehicle batteries that have been
approved for your vehicle by the manufacturer;
otherwise, the vehicle could be damaged and
systems or functions may not be fully availa‐
ble.◀
After a battery replacement, have the battery
registered on the vehicle by the service center
to ensure that all comfort features are fully
available and that any Check Control mes‐
sages of these comfort features are no longer
displayed.
Charging the battery
General information
Make sure that the battery is always suffi‐
ciently charged to guarantee that the battery
remains usable for its full service life.
The battery may need to be charged in the fol‐
lowing cases:▷When making frequent short-distance
drives.▷If the vehicle is not used for prolonged pe‐
riods, longer than a month.
Hints
Do not connect charging devices to the
12 volt socket in the vehicle

tory-installed 12 volt sockets in the vehicle as
this may damage the vehicle battery due to an
increased power consumption.◀

starting aid terminals, refer to page  247, in the
engine compartment with the engine off.

needs to be newly initialized or individual set‐
tings updated, e. g.:

store the positions again.▷Time: update.▷Date: update.▷Glass sunroof: initialize the system, refer to
