qualified specialist workshop for further infor-
mation.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently if you use the vehicle mainly
for short trips or if you leave it standing idle
for a lengthy period. Consult a qualified spe-
cialist workshop if you wish to leave your
vehicle parked for a long period of time.
Remove the SmartKey if you park the vehicle
and do not require any electrical consumers.
The vehicle will then use very little energy,
thus conserving battery power.
iIf the power supply has been interrupted,
e.g. if you reconnect the battery, you will
have to:
Rset the clock. Information on setting the
clock can be found in the Digital Opera-
tor's Manual.
On vehicles with COMAND and a naviga-
tion system, the clock is set automati-
cally.
Rreset the function for folding the exterior mirrors in/out automatically, by folding
the mirrors out once (
Ypage 125).
Charging the battery
GWARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive
gases can escape from the battery. There is a risk of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient
ventilation while charging and jump-starting.
Do not lean over a battery.
GWARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is a risk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do
not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over
the battery. Keep children away from batter-
ies. Wash away battery acid immediately with
plenty of clean water and seek medical atten-
tion.
GWARNING
A discharged battery can freeze at tempera-
tures below freezing point. When jump-start-
ing the vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is a risk of
an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before
charging it or jump-starting.
!Only use battery chargers with a maxi-
mum charging voltage of 14.8 V.
!Only charge the battery using the jump-
starting connection point.
If, at low temperatures, the indicator lamps/
warning lamps in the instrument cluster do
not light up, it is highly likely that the dis-
charged battery has frozen. In this case you
may neither jump-start the vehicle nor charge
the battery. The service life of a thawed-out
battery may be shorter. The starting charac-
teristics can be impaired, particularly at low
temperatures. Have the thawed-out battery
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Never charge the battery if it is still installed in
the vehicle, unless you use a battery charger
which has been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. A battery charger unit spe-
cially adapted for Mercedes-Benz vehicles
and tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
is available as an accessory. It permits the
charging of the battery in its installed posi-
tion. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center for further information and availabil-
ity. Charge the battery in accordance with the
separate instructions for the battery charger.
The jump-starting connection point is in the
engine compartment (
Ypage 395).
Read the battery charger's operating instruc-
tions before charging the battery.
XOpen the hood.
XConnect the battery charger to the positive terminal and ground point in the same
order as when connecting the donor bat-
tery in the jump-starting procedure
(
Ypage 395).
