Auxiliary power outlet
The auxiliary power outlet supplies power
to the following electrical accessories
when the key is turned to starter switch
position 1:
R the electric air pump, available in con-
junction with the tire repair kit*
R other consumers which operate up to a
maximum of 60 W
! The auxiliary power outlet can accom-
modate 12V DC electrical accessories
designed for use with the standard “cig-
arette lighter” plug type.
Keep in mind, however, that connecting
accessories to the auxiliary power outlet
(for example extensive connecting and
disconnecting, or using plugs that do not
fit properly) can damage the auxiliary
power outlet.
The auxiliary power outlet is located in the
lower center console. Auxiliary power outlet

process. Changes you have made via the
"Vehicle Homepage" are adopted after the
charging process is complete. This data
transmission ends after approximately
three days. Intelligent charging management
If you wish to charge economically and with
minimal damage to the battery, you must set
a departure time ( Ypage 90). This option
to optimize the charging process depends
on your electricity contract and the local
power supplier. Your vehicle detects this
option automatically. Depending on the
departure time which is set, the charging
process of the high-voltage battery may not
be started immediately or may be inter-
rupted during the process. Front compartment

WARNING
Batteries contain poisonous and corrosive
substances. Therefore keep the batteries
out of reach of children.
If a battery is swallowed, seek medical help

About replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is
therefore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for head-
lamp adjustment. G
WARNING
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb. Otherwise you could be burned if you
touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
R touch or move it when hot
R drop the bulb
R scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
i If the headlamps or front fog lamps* are
fogged up on the inside as a result of
high humidity, driving the vehicle a
distance with the lights on should clear
up the fogging. Notes on bulb replacement:
R
Only use bulbs of the same type and with
the specified watt rating.
R Switch the lights off before replacing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
R Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
R Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
R Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with
bare fingers.
R If the newly installed bulb does not come
on, contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Have the bulbs for the front fog lamps*
and the LED daytime running lamps*
replaced at an authorized electric drive
smart center. Replacing bulbs

iliary power outlet (Y page 110).
X Insert the key in the starter switch and
turn it to position 1.
i The vehicle’s 12‑volt battery is drained
by use of the electric air pump. You
should therefore keep the drive system
running while inflating the tire. X
Press Ion electric air pump switch 006B.
The electric air pump is switched on and
inflates the tire.
i First, the sealant is pumped into the
tire. The pressure may briefly increase
to a high value. This is normal and not an
indication of a malfunction. Do not
switch off the electric air pump.
X Let the electric air pump inflate the tire
for a maximum of ten minutes.
Pressure gauge 0044must display at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi). !
Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than ten minutes without inter-
ruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
X If a tire inflation pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by press-
ing 0on electric air pump switch 006B.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose 0085from
tire valve 006F.
X After clearing the area around the vehi-
cle of people and obstacles, drive vehi-
cle back or forth very slowly approx-
imately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.

WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained, the
tire is too severely damaged for the tire
sealant to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot prop-
erly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with water
and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and explosive. Keep
flames or sparks away from battery, avoid
improper connection of jumper cables,
smoking, etc. G
WARNING
Do not place any metal objects on a battery.
You could otherwise cause a short circuit
and the battery’s highly flammable chemi-
cals could ignite.
Never allow any metal object to contact both
battery terminals or the positive terminal
and the vehicle body at the same time. This
might short circuit the battery and ignite
the highly flammable and explosive hydro-
gen gas generated by the battery, causing
serious personal injury. G
WARNING
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc.
R When disconnecting the battery, always
disconnect the negative terminal first,
followed by positive terminal.
R When connecting the battery, always con-
nect the positive terminal first, fol-
lowed by the negative terminal.
R Do not loosen or disconnect the battery
terminal clips while the drive system is
running or the key is in the starter
switch.
! Never loosen or detach battery terminal
clamps while the drive system is running
or the key is in the starter switch. Oth-
erwise, electronic components could be
severely damaged.
Have the battery checked regularly at an
authorized electric drive smart center. Refer to Maintenance Booklet for main-
tenance intervals or contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for fur-
ther information.
! Never invert the terminal connections! Notes on the high‑voltage battery
Have work on the high-voltage battery per-
formed by an authorized electric drive
smart center only. Observe the safety notes
on (Y page 16) as well as the notes on the 12-
volt battery (Y page 197). G
WARNING
The electrolyte of the high-voltage bat-
tery, i.e. the battery fluid, is toxic and
caustic. Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing, for
example in case of an accident.
In case it does, immediately flush affected
area with water and seek medical help
immediately.
The high-voltage battery is located in the
vehicle underbody. Keep this in mind when
jacking up the vehicle. The vehicle has
designated take-up brackets for the jack.
For more information, see (Y page 196).
! Only position the jack on the desig-
nated take-up brackets.
You must not position the jack under the
high-voltage battery. Otherwise, the
high-voltage battery could be damaged. 198
