Disconnecting the battery

Risk of accident

If the battery is disconnected:

the brake boosting effect will not be avail-

able. Greater braking force will then be

required and the brake pedal travel will

be longer. If necessary, depress the

brake pedal with maximum force.

you will no longer be able to turn the key

in the ignition lock.

the selector lever is locked in position P

on vehicles with AUTOTRONIC*.

Always disconnect the battery in the

order described below. Never swap the ter-

minal clamps. You may otherwise damage

the vehicle electronics.

Apply the handbrake and shift the selector

lever to position P on vehicles with AUTO-

TRONIC*.

Switch off all electrical consumers.

Turn the key to position 0 (

page 62) in

the ignition lock and remove it.

Remove the negative terminal clamp from

the battery.

Remove the cover from the positive termi-

nal clamp.

Remove the positive terminal clamp from

the battery.

Disconnect the breather hose.

Removing the battery

Disconnect the battery (

page 265).

Loosen the bolt which holds the battery in

place.

Remove the battery.

Charging and fitting the battery

Risk of injury

Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated

area. As the battery is being charged, gases

can escape and generate minor explosions.

This may injure you and other persons or

cause damage to the paintwork or acid cor-

rosion on the vehicle.
You can obtain information about battery

chargers which allow the battery to be

charged when still installed from a qualified

specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz

Service Centre.

Risk of injury

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.
