The factory-equipped battery may only be
replaced with a battery that
R has the same security features
R is of identical size
R is of identical voltage
R is of identical capacity
! As any other battery, the battery may
discharge if you do not operate the vehicle
for an extended period of time. Have the
battery disconnected at a qualified
workshop or an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center in such a case. You may also
connect an accessory battery charge unit
expressly approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle model to maintain the battery
charge. Contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center for further information.
The battery, the battery ventilation hose
and the lateral plug must always be
securely installed when the vehicle is in
operation.
! Switch off the engine and switch off the
vehicle’s internal electrical functions
before you disconnect or remove the
battery’s terminal clamps. You could
otherwise destroy electronic assemblies
such as the generator.
Remove SmartKey from starter switch
(vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: Make sure the
vehicle’s on-board electronics have status 0)
when you turn off the engine and no longer
require any electrical consumers. The vehicle
then uses very little power and the battery is
spared.
If the battery is discharged, you must use the
mechanical key to unlock the vehicle.
