Battery - Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class Owner's Manual

Battery

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery.
The battery must always be sufficiently
charged so that it achieves its intended
service life.
Have the battery charge checked more
frequently if you use the vehicle mainly for
short trips or if you do not use it for an ex-
tended period.
To prevent corrosion damage, only replace
the battery with a battery that has a central
ventilation cover. For safety reasons,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use batteries which have been specially
tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre if
you wish to leave your vehicle parked up
for an extended period.
