ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
damage due to improper disposal of bat-
teries
Batteries contain pollutants. It is illegal
to dispose of them with the household rubbish.
#
Dispose of batteries in an
environmentally responsible manner.
Take discharged batteries to a qualified
specialist workshop or to a collection
point for used batteries.
Observe the safety notes and protective measures
when handling batteries.
Risk of explosion
Fire, naked flames and smoking are
prohibited when handling the battery.
Avoid creating sparks.
Electrolyte or battery acid is corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and
clothing. Wear suitable protective
clothing, in particular gloves, an apron
and a safety mask. Immediately rinse
electrolyte acid splashes off with clean
water. If necessary, seek medical
advice.
Wear eye protection.
Keep children at a safe distance.
Observe these Operating Instructions.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop if you wish
to leave your vehicle parked up for long periods.
When you park the vehicle, remove the key if you
do not require any electrical consumers. The vehi-
cle will then use very little energy, thus conserving
battery power.
Installation locations
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following
two batteries located in the seat base of the right-
hand front seat, depending on the equipment ver-
sion:
R
12 V on-board electrical system battery

Notes on the high-voltage battery
&
DANGER Risk of fire and explosion from
excessive internal pressure of the high-
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle fire, flammable gas
can escape and ignite.
#
Stop the charging process immediately in
case of unusual odours, smoke or burn
marks.
#
Leave the danger zone immediately.
Secure the danger zone at a sufficient
distance.
#
Call the fire service.

NOTE Damage to the high-voltage battery
due to temperatures that are too low or
too high
If, during storage or transport (for example, in
a container), the vehicle is exposed to temper-
atures below -25 °C or above 40 °C for longer
than seven days, the high-voltage battery can
be irreparably damaged.
#
Avoid exposing the high-voltage battery
to damaging temperatures for lengthy
periods of time.
In order for the high-voltage battery to achieve the
maximum possible service life, it should always be
sufficiently charged. Have the battery's charge
level checked if you park the vehicle for a long
period of time. Exhaustive discharging caused by
the vehicle standing idle for lengthy periods can
damage the high-voltage battery. If the vehicle is
idle for lengthy periods, run it for a few minutes
