Fo rs afety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. Thes ebatteries provide
increased impact protection to prevent vehi-
cle occupant sfrom suffering aci dburns
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 abattery.
Otherwise ,you coul dcause ashort circuit
and the battery's gas mixtur ecould ignite.
R mak esure that you do not create an elec-
trostatic charge, e.g. by wearing synthetic
clothing or as aresult of friction on fabrics.
Therefore, you should not pull or slide the
batter yover carpets or other synthetic
materials.
R neve rtouch the battery first. To discharge
ap ossible electrostatic charge, step out of
the vehicle first and touc hthe bodywork.
