If you park the vehicle and leave it stationary for
long periods:
R
check the condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery more often
R
connect the vehicle to a power supply
This prevents self-discharge and damage to the
high-voltage battery.
Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center if
you wish to leave your vehicle parked for a long
period of time.

operating condition.
Jumper cables and further information regarding
jump-starting can be obtained at any qualified
specialist workshop.
