Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.
Observe this Owner's Man-
ual.

Environmental note
Do not dispose of batteries in the household
rubbish. Dispose of defective batteries in an
environmentally responsible manner. Take
them to a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre or
to a special collection point for old batteries. G
Risk of injury
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. These batteries provide
increased impact protection to prevent vehi-
cle occupants from suffering acid burns
should the battery be damaged in the event
of an accident.
To prevent acid burns, observe the following
safety notes when handling batteries:
R do not lean over the battery.
R do not place any metal objects on a battery.
You could otherwise cause a short circuit
and the battery's gas mixture could ignite.
R make sure that you do not create an elec-
trostatic charge, e.g. by wearing synthetic
clothing or as a result of friction on fabrics.
Therefore, you should not pull or slide the
battery over carpets or other synthetic
materials. R
never touch the battery first. To discharge
a possible electrostatic charge, step out of
the vehicle first and touch the bodywork.
R do not wipe the battery using a cloth. The
battery may explode as a result of electro-
static charge or due to flying sparks.
! Before loosening the terminal clamps of
the battery, switch off the engine and
remove the key or, on vehicles with KEY-
LESS GO*, make sure that the ignition is
not switched on. In the instrument cluster,
all of the indicator lamps must be out. Oth-
erwise, you may destroy electronic compo-
nents, such as the alternator.
i Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
have work involving the battery, e.g.
removal, charging and replacement, car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Installation location of the battery Your vehicle is equipped with a battery in the
engine compartment. It is located on the front
bulkhead under the filter box on the right-
hand side of the vehicle when viewed in the
direction of travel.
Example
:
Negative terminal
; Positive terminal

ers. The vehicle will then use very little
energy, thus conserving the battery.
i If the battery is discharged, you must use
the emergency key element to unlock the
vehicle. Charging the battery
G
Risk of injury
Only charge the installed battery using a
Mercedes-Benz approved battery charger.
Otherwise, the vehicle's electronic system
may be damaged. Only charge the battery in
a well-ventilated area. As the battery is being
charged, gases can escape and generate
minor explosions. This could injure you and
other persons or cause damage to the paint-
work or acid corrosion on the vehicle.
You can obtain information about battery
chargers which allow the battery to be
charged while still installed from a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. G
Risk of injury
There is a risk of acid burns during the charg-
ing process due to the gases which escape
from the battery. Do not lean over the battery
during the charging process.
X Use the electric parking brake to secure the
vehicle and use the DIRECT SELECT lever
to set the transmission to P.
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Turn the key to position 0in the ignition
lock and remove it.
X Open the bonnet.
X Check that the breather hose is fitted and
that there is a cell cap on the opposite side
of the battery.
X Remove the cover from the positive termi-
nal.
X Connect the positive clamp of the battery
charger to the positive terminal of the bat-
tery. X
Connect the negative clamp of the battery
charger to the vehicle's earth point.
X Charge the battery. Observe the notes in
the operating instructions for your battery
charger.
X Disconnect the battery charger after charg-
ing.
X Attach the positive terminal cover.
X Close the bonnet. Jump-starting
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be jump-started from another
vehicle or from an external battery using jump
leads.
Observe the following points:
R jump-starting may only be performed when
the engine and catalytic converter are cold.
R do not start the engine if the battery is fro-
zen. Let the battery thaw first.
R jump-starting may only be performed from
batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
R only use jump leads which have a sufficient
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
i Jump leads and further information about
jump-starting can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Never start the vehicle using a rapid battery
charger. G
Risk of injury
There is a risk of acid burns when jump-start-
ing a vehicle due to the gases which escape
from the battery. Do not lean over the battery
while the engine is being jump-started. 384
