Important safety notes
Work on the battery, e.g. removing or instal-
ling, requires specialist knowledge and the
use of special tools. Therefore, always have
work on the battery carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
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
system, the ABS (anti-lock braking system)
or the ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program).
The operating 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 manoeu-
vres 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
incident, contact a qualified specialist
workshop immediately. Do not drive any
further. Always have work on the battery
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.

esp

( Y page 53).
G
WARNING
Electrostatic build-up can lead to the cre-
ation of sparks, which could ignite the
highly explosive gases of a battery. There
is a risk of an explosion.
Before handling the battery, touch the
vehicle body to remove any existing elec-
trostatic build-up.
The highly flammable gas mixture is created
while the battery is charging and when jump-
starting.
