Damage to cables and battery male
connectors
CAUTION
There is a risk of short circuit if the
cables are damaged.
Do not crush the battery cable when
closing the battery door.
– Check the battery cables for
damage.
– When removing and reinstalling
the battery, ensure that the battery
cables are not damaged.
– Ensure that the battery cable does
not come into contact with the
battery door.
CAUTION
Possible damage to the male battery connector!
If the battery male connector is disconnected or
connected while the key switch or battery charger
is under load, an arc will be produced at the battery
male connector. This can lead to corrosion at the
contacts, and can considerably shorten the service
life of the contacts.
– Switch off the key switch or battery charger be-
fore the battery male connector is disconnected
or connected.
– Only disconnect the battery male connector
while under load in an emergency.
Opening and closing the battery
hood
CAUTION
Risk of damage through component collision!
Driver’s seats with operating devices in the armrest
and opened ERS or HRS driver restraint systems
(variant) can collide with and damage surrounding
components (for example, interior mirror) when the
battery hood is opened.
– Position the driver’s seat as far back as it can go.
– Carry out preparations for ERS or HRS driver
restraint system (variant).
– Only then open the battery hood.
