Battery
323
G Warning
Do not place any metal objects on the battery
as this could result in a short circuit.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you do not
carry out work on batteries yourself, e.g.
removing, charging or replacing. Always have
this work performed at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Use leak-proof batteries only to avoid the risk
of acid burns in the event of an accident.
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.
i If the power supply has been interrupted,
e.g. if the battery has been reconnected,
you must carry out the following tasks:
Rset the clock (Y page 222)
Never touch the battery first. First, touch the
outside body of the vehicle in order to release
any possible electrostatic charges.
On vehicles with COMAND and a
navigation system, the clock is set
automatically.
Do not rub the battery with rags or cloths. The
battery could explode if touched due to
electrostatic charge or due to spark
formation.
Rreset the sliding sunroof (Y page 90)
Rreset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically by folding
the mirrors out once (Y page 108)
Rreset the side windows (Y page 87)
!
Switch off the engine and remove the
SmartKey before disconnecting the
terminal clamps from the battery. On
vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, make sure that
the ignition is switched off. Check that all
the indicator lamps in the instrument
cluster are off. You may otherwise destroy
electronic components, such as the
alternator.
Charging the battery
G Warning
Never charge a battery while still installed in
the vehicle unless the accessory battery
charge unit approved by Mercedes-Benz is
being used. Gases may escape during
charging and cause explosions that may
result in paint damage, corrosion or personal
injury.
!
Like other batteries, the vehicle battery
may discharge over time if you do not use
the vehicle. In this case, have the battery
disconnected at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center. You can also charge the
battery with a charger recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for further
information.
An accessory battery charge unit specially
adapted for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and
tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz is
available. It permits the charging of the
battery in its installed position. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
information and availability.
The battery, breather hose and cover of the
positive terminal clamp must be installed
securely during operation.
Charge the battery in accordance with the
separate instructions for the accessory
battery charger.
i Remove the SmartKey if you park the
vehicle and do not require any electrical
consumers. The vehicle will then use very
little energy, thus conserving battery
power.
G Warning!
There is a risk of acid burns during the
charging process due to the gases which
escape from the battery. Do not lean over the
battery during the charging process.
