Battery
Notes
Your vehicle is equipped with a 12-volt
battery and a high-voltage battery. The high-
voltage battery stores the power required for
the hybrid transmission. The hybrid
transmission also starts the combustion
engine.
Have any work on the batteries performed at
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Warning!
The electrolyte, i.e. the battery fluid, is toxic
and caustic. Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing, for
example in case of an accident.
In case it does, immediately flush affected
area with water and seek medical help
immediately.
For information on the location of the 12-volt
battery and the high-voltage battery, see
(
Y
page 12).
! Deep discharge caused by prolonged
periods of the vehicle not being used, can
damage the high-voltage battery.
During such periods, operate the vehicle
every 4 weeks for several minutes in order
to charge the high-voltage battery.
During the charging process, switch off
electrical consumers that are currently not
needed, e.g. climate control system or seat
heating.
If necessary, get a jump start.

If you do not intend to operate your vehicle
for an extended period of time, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center about
steps you need to observe.

Never charge a battery while still installed in
the vehicle unless the accessory battery
charge unit approved by Mercedes-Benz is
being used. Gases may escape during
charging and could cause an explosion that
may result in personal injury, paint damage or
corrosion.
An accessory battery charge unit specially
adapted for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and
tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz is
available. It permits the charging of the
battery in its installed position. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
information and availability.
