charger.
X
Refit the charged battery.
To do this, follow the steps described in
"Removing the battery" (
Y
page 332) in
reverse order.
!
Do not fit refillable batteries without elec-
trostatic protection. The electrostatic dis-
charge could otherwise cause the battery
to explode. The battery acid released could
cause damage to your vehicle.
Further information on electrostatic protec-
tion (
Y
page 331).
G
Risk of injury
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid contact with
the skin, eyes or clothing.

Jump-starting
Jump-starting your vehicle
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be jump-started from another
vehicle or from an external battery using jump
leads.
Observe the following points:
R
Jump-starting may only be performed when
the engine and catalytic converter are cold.
R
Do not start the engine if the battery is fro-
zen. Let the battery thaw first.
R
Jump-starting may only be performed from
batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
R
Only use jump leads which are protected
against polarity reversal and which have a
sufficient cross-section and insulated ter-
minal clamps.
i
Jump leads which are protected against
polarity reversal and further information
about jump-starting can be obtained from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
!
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Never start the vehicle using a rapid battery
charger.
