Replacing battery on vehicles with start/stop system:
Because of its higher deep-cycle resistance, only a special starter
battery is used in vehicles with a start/stop system.
When renewing the starter battery, note correct part designation
in ⇒ ETKA (electronic parts catalogue) . Starter batteries for use
in vehicles with a start/stop system are marked with “AGM” (Ab‐
sorbent Glass Mat) or “EFB” (Enhanced Flooded Battery).
Note
♦
In vehicles with a battery sensor (start-stop system), the bat‐
tery has to be parameterised after a new starter battery has
been installed.
♦
The battery parameterisation sends the technical data of the
new battery to the battery monitor.
