Battery replacement
Use approved vehicle batteries only
Only use vehicle batteries that have been
approved for your vehicle by the manufacturer;
otherwise, the vehicle could be damaged and
systems or functions may not be fully availa‐
ble.
◀
After a battery replacement, have the battery
registered on the vehicle by your service center
to ensure that all comfort functions are fully
available and that any Check Control messages
are no longer displayed.

12 volt socket in the vehicle
Do not connect battery chargers to the factory-
installed 12 volt sockets in the vehicle as this
may damage the vehicle battery due to an in‐
creased power consumption.
