connected at a qualified specialist workshop.
You can also charge the battery with a
charger recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
For more information, please contact a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
Have the battery charge checked more fre-
quently if you use the vehicle mainly for short
trips or if you leave it standing idle for a
lengthy period. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop if you wish to leave your vehicle
parked up for a long period of time.
i
When you park the vehicle, remove the
key if you do not require any electrical con-
sumers. The vehicle will then use very little
energy, thus conserving battery power.
i
Hybrid vehicles: if the battery charge is
sufficient, the high-voltage battery can also
supply the 12 V battery with energy. This
only happens if the battery charge of the
12 V battery requires this, e.g. after using
electrical consumers for an extended
period with the engine switched off. As the
on-board voltage is continuously moni-
tored this can also be performed when the
engine is switched off. The battery charge
of the 12 V battery and the on-board volt-
age are thereby kept stable for a longer
period.
High-voltage battery - important
safety notes
Only hybrid vehicles are equipped with a high-
voltage battery.
G
DANGER
The vehicle's high voltage electrical system is
under high voltage. If you modify components
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
or touch damaged components, you may be
electrocuted. The components in the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Do not touch any high-voltage components
after an accident and never modify the vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system. Have the
vehicle towed away after an accident and the
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
In the event of a vehicle fire, the internal pres-
sure of the high-voltage battery could exceed
a critical value. In this case, flammable gas
escapes through a vent valve in the vehicle's
underbody. The gas can ignite. There is a risk
of injury.
Leave the danger area immediately. Secure
the danger area at a suitable distance, whilst
observing legal requirements.
G
WARNING
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damaged, electrolyte and gases may
leak out. These are poisonous and caustic.
There is a risk of injury.
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or clothing.
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes off
with water and seek medical attention
straight away.
!
Exhaustive discharge caused by the vehi-
cle 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 once every six weeks
to charge up the high-voltage battery.
During the charging process, switch off all
electrical consumers, e.g. the automatic
climate control or the seat heating.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre if
you wish to leave your vehicle parked up for
a long period of time.
Charging the 12 V battery
G WARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive
gases can escape from the battery. There is a
risk of an explosion.
