Practical hints
Observe the following:
Jump starting should only be performed
R
when the combustion engine and the
catalytic converter are cold.
Do not jump start if the battery is frozen.
R
Let the battery thaw out first.
Only jump start from batteries with the
R
same voltage rating (12 V). Jump starting
with a more powerful battery could damage
the vehicle's electrical system, which is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
Only use jumper cables with sufficient
R
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
Always make sure the jumper cables are
R
not on or near pulleys, fans or other parts
that move when an engine is started or
running.
Should the battery be drained completely,
R
let the donating power source charge the
vehicle for several minutes before
reattempting the starting process.
i
Jumper cables and additional information
on jump starting are available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
! Jump starting should only be performed
using the jump-start terminals located in
the engine compartment.
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Do not attempt to start the engine using a
battery quick-charge unit.
If the engine does not run after several
unsuccessful starting attempts, have it
checked at the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Excessive unburned fuel generated by
repeated failed starting attempts may
damage the catalytic converter and may
present a fire risk.
Make sure the jumper cables do not have
loose or missing insulation.
