that has the same security features and is of
identical size, voltage, and capacity as the
factory-equipped battery.
SmartKey is in the starter switch. Otherwise the
alternator and other electronic components
could be severely damaged.
The brake system requires electrical power
to operate.
The battery, the battery ventilation and the
lateral plug must always be securely installed
when the vehicle is in operation.
Have the starter battery checked regularly by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
A malfunction in the vehicle’s power supply
or electrical system may impair brake sys-
tem operation and switch it into its emer-
gency operation mode. The same applies if
battery is disconnected. To brake, the driver
must then apply significantly greater brake
pedal pressure and depress the pedal much
further to obtain the expected braking ef-
fect. If necessary, apply full pressure to the
brake pedal. Brakes are only applied to the
front wheels.
Refer to Maintenance Booklet for maintenance
intervals or contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for further information.
