Batteries
12 V battery - important safety notes
Work on the batteries, e.g. removing or fitting,
requires specialist knowledge and the use of
special tools. For this reason, always have work
on the batteries carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
G
WARNING
The battery terminal clamps can remain under
voltage even after being disconnected. If work
on the battery is carried out incorrectly, a
short-circuit may result. There is a risk of fire.
Always have work on the batteries carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. Never dis-
connect a battery yourself.
G
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This can
lead to function restrictions applying to
safety-relevant systems, e.g the lighting sys-
tem, the ABS (anti-lock braking system) or the
ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program). The oper-
ating safety of your vehicle may be restricted.
You could lose control of the vehicle, for
example:
R
when braking
R
in the event of abrupt steering manoeuvres
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not
adapted to the road conditions
There is a risk of an accident.
In the event of a short circuit or a similar inci-
dent, contact a qualified specialist workshop
immediately. Do not drive any further. Always
have work on the battery carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Further information about ABS (
Y
page 61) and
ESP ® (
Y
page 65).
G
WARNING
Electrostatic build-up can lead to the creation
of sparks, which could ignite the highly explo-
sive gases of a battery. There is a risk of an
explosion.
Before handling the battery, touch the vehicle
body to remove any existing electrostatic
build-up.
The highly flammable gas mixture is created
while the battery is charging and when jump-
starting.
Always make sure that neither you nor the bat-
tery is electrostatically charged. Electrostatic
charge is created, for example:
R
by wearing synthetic fibre clothing
R
by friction between clothing and the seat
R
when you pull or push the battery across car-
pet or other synthetic materials
R
when you rub the battery with a cloth
G
WARNING
During the charging process, a battery produ-
ces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs or
sparks are created, the hydrogen gas can
ignite. There is a risk of an explosion.
R
Make sure that the positive terminal of a
connected battery does not come into con-
tact with vehicle parts.
R
Never place metal objects or tools on a bat-
tery.
R
It is important that you observe the descri-
bed order of the battery terminals when
connecting and disconnecting a battery.
R
When jump-starting, make sure that the
battery poles with identical polarity are
connected.
R
It is particularly important to observe the
described order when connecting and dis-
connecting the jump leads.
R
Never connect or disconnect the battery
terminals while the engine is running.
