If, at low temperatures, the indicator lamps/

warning lamps in the instrument cluster do

not light up, it is highly likely that the dis-

charged battery has frozen. In this case you

may neither jump-start the vehicle nor charge

the battery. The service life of a thawed-out

battery may be shorter. The starting charac-

teristics can be impaired, particularly at low

temperatures. Have the thawed-out battery

checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Only charge the installed battery with a bat-

tery charger which has been tested and

approved by Mercedes-Benz. 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 further informa-

tion and availability. Read the battery charg-

er's operating instructions before charging

the battery.
