Vehicle care 139
Battery
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short distance driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unneccessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from
the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
The anti-theft alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: switch the
ignition on then off, disconnect the
vehicle's battery within 15 seconds.
Replacing the battery
When the battery is being replaced,
please ensure that there are no open
ventilation holes in the vicinity of the
positive terminal. If a ventilation hole
is open in this area, it must be closed
off with a dummy cap, and the
ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Only use batteries that allow the fuse
box to be mounted above the battery.
We recommend that you have the
battery replaced by a workshop.
Diesel fuel system bleeding
If the tank has been run dry, the diesel
fuel system must be bled. Switch on
the ignition three times for 15 seconds
at a time. Then crank the engine for
a maximum of 40 seconds (For
technical reasons only 30 seconds
are possible on engines A 17 DTS).
Repeat this process after no less than
5 seconds. If the engine fails to start,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
