Safety precautions for handling batteries
During engine washes, always protect
the starter, alternator and electrical plug
connections from moisture.
Never attempt to bridge or repair fuses.
Use only fuses of the specified amper-
age. Never replace fuses with those of a
higher ampere rating as this could lead
to damage to the electrical system.

Safety precautions for handling
batteries
M54_10-0004-01
(1) - Fire, sparks, naked flames and
smoking are forbidden. Prevent spark-
ing.
(2) - Risk of explosion.
(3) - Observe the operating instructions.
(4) - Risk of acid burns. Battery acid is
corrosive. Always observe the safety in-
structions and safety precautions when
handling batteries or battery acid. Bat-
tery acid must never come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Rinse off all
acid splashes immediately with copious
amounts of clean water. Seek medical
attention if necessary.
(5) - Wear safety goggles.
(6) - Keep children away.
Danger.
Naked flames and smoking are strictly
forbidden whenever work is being carried
out on the vehicle batteries. Avoid the
creation of sparks. Wear safety goggles.
Keep children away. There is a risk of
acid burns. The Operating Instructions
must be observed. There may be a risk
of explosion.
Danger.
Only lead-acid batteries are permitted to
be fitted, never gel batteries. All cells of
the batteries must be fitted with special
caps that are interlinked by vent hoses,
thereby allowing any gases produced to
be directed into the open air.
