G
Risk of injury
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid contact with the
skin, eyes or clothing.
Charging the battery G
Risk of injury
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 paintwork or acid cor-
rosion 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.
! Only charge the installed battery with a
battery charger which has been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. These battery
chargers allow the battery to be charged
while still installed.
! Only use battery chargers with a maxi-
mum charging voltage of 14.8 V.
! Only charge the battery using the jump-
start connection point.
X Vehicles with the battery in the engine
compartment: open the bonnet.
X Vehicles with the battery in the boot:
open the boot.
X Connect the battery charger by its positive
terminal and earth point in the same order
as when connecting the donor battery in 322

i If the battery power supply has been inter-
rupted (e.g. if it has been reconnected), you
must carry out the following tasks:
R set the time ( Ypage 132)
R reset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically* by folding
the mirrors out once ( Ypage 87) 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
you may only jump-start 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.
Do not use a rapid-charging device to start
the engine. 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. G
Risk of explosion
Gases escaping from the battery during jump-
starting may cause minor explosions. Avoid
creating sparks. Keep naked flames away
from the battery, and do not smoke.

vehicle is to be towed.
It is better to have the vehicle transported
than to have it towed.
When towing, observe the legal requirements
in all countries concerned.
! When towing, pull away slowly and
smoothly. If the tractive power is too high,
the vehicles could be damaged.
! Do not use the towing eye for recovery,
as this could damage the vehicle. If in
doubt, recover the vehicle with a crane.
! You may tow the vehicle for a maximum
of 50 km. A towing speed of 50 km/ hmust
not be exceeded.
For towing distances over 50 km, the entire
vehicle must be lifted up and transported.
! On vehicles with KEYLESS GO*, use the
key instead of the Start/Stop button. Turn
the key to position 2in the ignition lock and
shift the automatic transmission to N. Then
turn the key back to 0and leave it in the
ignition lock.
! Only secure the tow cable or towing bar
to the towing eyes. You could otherwise
damage the vehicle.
R Vehicles with an automatic transmission*
must not be tow-started.
R Vehicles with 4MATIC* must not be towed
with the front or rear axle raised.
R If you are towing the vehicle over a longer
distance, this must be done with the rear
axle raised.
R The ignition must be switched off if you are
towing the vehicle with the rear axle raised.
Otherwise, intervention by ESP ®
could
damage the brake system.
R If the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propeller shaft
disconnected. R
If the engine does not start, try jump-start-
ing it (Y page 323).
R If it is not possible to jump-start the vehicle,
have it towed to the nearest qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
R The automatic transmission must be in
position Nwhen the vehicle is being towed.
R Before towing the vehicle, make sure that
the battery is connected and charged. Oth-
erwise:
-you cannot switch on the ignition.
- you cannot shift the transmission to posi-
tion Non vehicles with automatic trans-
mission*.
- you have no support when braking.
i Switch off the automatic locking feature
before the vehicle is towed (Y page 134).
Otherwise, you could be locked out when
pushing or towing the vehicle. Fitting the towing eye

Notes on changing fuses
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-
nents on the circuit and their functions will
fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and value. The fuse ratings are lis-
ted in the fuse allocation chart. A Mercedes- Benz Service Centre will be happy to advise
you. G
Risk of fire
Only use fuses that have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which have the
required fuse rating for the systems con-
cerned. Do not attempt to repair or bridge
faulty fuses. A circuit overload could other-
wise cause a fire. Have the cause traced and
rectified at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, components or sys-
tems could be damaged.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
R fuse box in the engine compartment on the
driver's side
R fuse box in the boot/luggage compartment
on the right-hand side of the vehicle
Fuse allocation chart The fuse allocation chart is located with the
vehicle tool kit (Y
page 249) in the stowage
compartment under the boot/luggage com-
partment floor. Before changing a fuse
X Park the vehicle.
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Remove the key from the ignition lock. Fuse box in the engine compartment
X Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
turned off. Fuses
