The battery, the battery ventilation and the later-

the vehicle is in operation.

opened to check the electrolyte level, the bat-

Do not place metal objects on the battery as

Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in severe injury or death.
Use leak-proof battery only to avoid the risk
of acid burns in the event of an accident.
Never lean over batteries while connecting,
you might get injured.
As with any other battery, disconnect the con-
sumer battery if you do not intend to operate
your vehicle for an extended period of time to
prevent battery discharge or connect an acces-
sory battery charge unit expressly approved by
Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle model to main-
tain the battery charge. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for further information.
Take care that you do not become statically
charged, e.g. by wearing synthetic clothing
or rubbing against textiles. For this reason,
you also should not pull or push the battery
over carpets or other synthetic materials.
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.
Never touch the battery first. First touch the
outside body of the vehicle in order to re-
lease any possible electrostatic charges.
