Practical hints
Jump starting
Jump starting
If the battery is discharged, the engine can
be started with jumper cables and the bat-
tery of another vehicle. Observe the follow-
ing:
G
!
Warning!
Jump starting may only be performed
on the main battery installed in the
trunk.
Failure to follow these directions will cause
damage to the electronic components, and
can lead to a battery explosion and severe
injury or death.
ț
Jump starting should only be performed
when the engine and catalytic convert-
er are cold.
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting at-
tempts.
Never lean over batteries while connecting
or jump starting, you might get injured.
Do not attempt to start the engine us-
ing a battery quick charge unit.

ț
Do not start the engine if the battery is
frozen. Let the battery thaw out first.
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.
If the engine does not run after several
unsuccessful starting attempts, have it
checked at the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Only jump start from batteries with the
same voltage rating.
Use only jumper cables with sufficient
cross-section, insulated terminal
clamps and polarity reversal protec-
tion.
Excessive unburned fuel generated by
repeated failed starting attempts may
damage the catalytic converter.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and very explosive. Keep
flames or sparks away from battery, avoid
improper connection of jumper cables,
smoking etc.
i
Make sure the jumper cables do not
have loose or missing insulation.
Jumper cables with polarity reversal
protection are available at any autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Make sure the cable clamps do not
touch any other metal part while the
other end is still attached to a battery.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
