The consumer battery is located on the
right-hand side of the trunk.
Even though VRLA batteries do not
require topping-up of the electrolyte
level and cannot be opened to check
the electrolyte level, the battery condi-
tion must be checked periodically by
performing a battery conductance test.
Refer to Maintenance Booklet for bat-
tery condition testing intervals.
The starter battery is located on the
right-hand side of the engine compart-
ment.
As with any other battery, disconnect
the consumer battery if you do not in-
tend to operate your vehicle for an
extended period of time to prevent bat-
tery discharge. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for further infor-
