an acc iden t.
In order for the battery to achieve the max i-
mum poss ible service life, it must always be
suff icie nt ly charge d.
Like other batteries, the vehicle battery may
disc harge over time if you do not use the
veh icle . In th is case, have the battery discon-
nected at a qualif ied specialist workshop. You
can also charge the battery with a charger
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Contact a qualif ied spec ialist workshop for further infor-
mation.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently if you use the vehicle main ly
for short trips or if you leave it standing idle
for a lengthy per iod. Consult a qualif ied spe-
cialist workshop if you wish to leave your
vehicle parked for a long period of time.

been recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
