-Always wear gloves and eye protection. Do
not tilt the battery because acid could leak
out of the ventilation openings.
- If you get battery acid in your eyes or on
your skin, immediately rinse with cold wa­
ter for several minutes and get medical at­
tention .
- If you should ingest any battery acid, seek
medical attention immediately.
- Do not expose the battery to an open flame,
electric sparks or an open light.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not interchange the positive and nega-
tive cab les.
- When working on the battery, be sure not to
short-circuit the terminals with tools or oth­
er metal objects. This wou ld cause the bat­
tery to heat up very quickly, which could
lead to damage or explosion and personal
injury.
- When a battery is charged, it produces hy­
drogen gas which is explosive and could
cause personal injury.
- Always keep the battery well out of the
reach of children.
- Before work is done on the electrical sys­
tem, disconnect the negative ground cable.
- Before performing any work on the electri­
cal system, switch off the engine and igni­
tion as well as any electrical equipment . The
negative cable on the battery must be dis­
connected. If you are just going to replace a
light bulb, then it is enough to switch off
the lights.
- Before disconnecting the battery, switch off
the anti-theft alarm system! Otherwise you
will set off the a larm.
- When disconnecting the battery, first dis­
connect the negative cable and then the
posit ive cab le.
- Before reconnecting the battery, make sure
all electrical consumers are switched off.
Reconnect the positive cab le first and then
the negative cable . Never interchange the
cables - th is could start a fire!
- Never charge a frozen o r a thawed-out bat­
tery. It could explode! If a battery has fro-
Checking and Filling
zen, then it must be replaced. A discharged
battery can freeze over at 32 °F (0 °C).
- Make sure the vent hose is always attached
to the opening on the side of the battery.
- Never use batteries which are damaged.
There is the danger of an exp losion! Always
replace a damaged battery.
_8 WARNING ~
California Proposition 65 Warning:
- Battery posts, term inals and related acces­
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive problems.
Wash hands after handling.
(D Note
-Do not disconnect the vehicle battery when
the ignition is on or when the engine is run­
ning, otherwise, you will damage electronic
components in the electrical system.
- If your vehicle is going to stand for a long
period of time without being driven, protect
the battery from "freezing", otherwise it
w ill be damaged and will then have to be re­
placed .
Battery charging
Starting the engine requires a well charged bat­
tery.

Al ways read and heed all WARNING S below
¢
A and ¢ A in Working on the battery on
page 248.
... Swi tch off the ignition and all electrical con­
sumers .
... Make sure the area is well ventilated when you
charge the battery.
... Open the engine hood ¢
page 23 7.
... Open the red cover on the positive pole
¢fig . 200.
... Clamp the cha rge r terminal clamps as instruct­
ed on the
batt ery terminal (+ ) and only on the
bo dy ground poin t(·).
... Only now pl ug the mains lead for the charging
equipment into the wall outlet and turn it on
¢£ .
... Make su re the ch arg ing rate is not o ver
3 0 a mp s/ 1 4.8 Volt.
... When the battery is fully charged: Turn the
charg ing equipment off and remove the mains
lead from the wall outlet.
... Now remove the clamps fo r the charging equ ip-

A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures
of only 32 F
0 (0 °C). A llow a frozen battery to
thaw comp letely before attempt ing to c harge it
¢
.&. . However, we recommend not us ing a
thawed batte ry again because the battery casing
can be cracked due to ice formation and can leak
battery acid.
Battery charging (Ma ximum charging rate of
30 amp s/ 14.8 Volt )
When charging at low voltages (e.g. with a trick­
le charger ),
the battery cables do not have to be
d isconnected first. The battery caps should
not
be opened when charging a battery.
It is not necessary to remove the battery from
the lu ggage compartment, and it is also not nec­
essary to disconnect the cables.
250
Fast charging the battery (charg ing rat e
abov e 14.8 Volts )
For technical reasons do not use a battery charg­
er that uses voltage greater than 14.8 Volts to
charge your veh icle's battery.
A WARNING
Charg ing a battery can be dangerous .
-Always follow the operating instructions
provided by the battery charger manufactur­
er when charging your battery .
- Never charge a frozen battery.
It may ex­
plode because of gas trapped in the ice. Al­
low a frozen battery to thaw out first.
- Do not reuse batteries which were frozen.
The battery hous ing may have cracked and
weakened when the battery froze.
- Charge the battery in a well ventilated area .
Keep away from open flame or electrical
spark. Do not smoke . Hydrogen gas generat­
ed by the batte ry is explosive .
- To reduce the danger of explosion, never
connect or d isconnect charger cables while
the charger is ope rating .
- Fast charg ing a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a competent
technician w ith the prope r equipment.
- Batte ry acid that may spill during charging
should be washed off w ith a so lution of
warm water and baking soda to neutra lize
the ac id.
{[) Note
Never use a fast cha rge r as a booster to start
the eng ine. This will se riously damage sensi­
tive elec tronic components, such as control
u nits, re lays, ra dio, e tc., as well as the ba ttery
charger.
Battery replacement
The new battery must hove the some specifica­
tions and dimensions as the original equipment
