For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
men dsthat you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. These batteries pro vide
increased impact protection to prevent veh i-
cle occupants from suffering acid burns
should the battery bedamaged inthe event of
an acc ident.
In order for the battery to achieve the max i-
mum possible service life, it must always be
suff iciently charge d.
Like other batteries, the vehicle battery may
disc harge over time if you donot use the
veh icle.In this case, have the battery discon-
nected at a qualified specialist workshop. You
can also charge the battery with a charger
recommended byMercedes-Benz. Contact a qualif
ied specialist workshop for further infor-
mation.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently ifyou use the vehicle main ly
for short trips or ifyou leave itstanding idle
for a lengthy period. Consult aqualified spe-
cialist workshop ifyou wish to leave your
vehicle parked for a long period of time.
Only replace a battery with a battery that has
been recommended byMercedes-Benz.
Remo vethe SmartKey ifyou park the vehicle
and donot require any electrical consumers.
The vehicle willthen use very lit
tle energy,
thus conserving battery power.
If the power supply has been interrupted, e.g.
if you reconnect the battery, you willhave to:
Rset the clock via Aud io20 or COMAND (see
separate operating instructions).
Rreset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically, byfolding the
mirrors out once (
Ypage 109).

Jump-starting
For the jump-starting procedure, use only the jump-starting connection point, consisting of a
positive terminal and a ground point, in the engine compartment.
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 batteries. Wash away battery acid immediately with plenty of
clean water and seek medical attention.
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 ven-
tilation while charging and jump-starting. Do not lean over a battery.
GWARNING
During the charging process, a battery produces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs or sparks
are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is a risk of an explosion.
RMake sure that the positive terminal of a connected battery does not come into contact with
vehicle parts.
RNever place metal objects or tools on a battery.
RIt is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting
and disconnecting a battery.
RWhen jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected.
RIt is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting
the jumper cables.
RNever connect or disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is running.
GWARNING
A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezing point. When jump-starting 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.
!Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could be
damaged by the non-combusted fuel.
If the indicator/warning lamps do not light up at low temperatures, it is very likely that the
discharged battery has frozen. In this case you may neither jump-start the vehicle nor charge
the battery. Let the battery thaw first. The service life of a thawed-out battery may be shorter.
The starting characteristics can be impaired, particularly at low temperatures. Have the
thawed-out battery checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
