IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery, in cars
with Start/Stop function, a battery of the
correct type must be fitted, EFB
with manual gearbox and AGM
with automatic gearbox.
IMPORTANT
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure
you replace it with a battery with the same
cold starting capacity and type as the orig-
inal battery (see the label on the battery).
NOTE
•
The starter battery's container size
should be consistent with the original
battery's dimensions.
•
The starter battery's height is different
depending on size.
11 Enhanced Flooded Battery.
Absorbed Glass Mat.

WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
11 in cars
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
12
in cars
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery or the
support battery (p. 364), only use a mod-
ern battery charger with controlled charg-
ing voltage. Fast charging function must
not be used since it may damage the bat-
tery.
10 Maintenance and service
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the energy saving function for info-
tainment system may be temporarily dis-
engaged, and/or the message in the com-
bined instrument panel's information dis-
play about the starter battery's state of
charge may be temporarily inapplicable,
following the connection of an external
starter battery or battery charger:
•
The negative battery terminal on the
car's starter battery must never be
used for connecting an external starter
battery or battery charger - only the
car chassis may be used as the
grounding point.
See Jump starting with battery (p. 258) for
a description of how the cable clamps
must be attached.
