Battery (vehicle)

Important safety notes

Special tools and expert knowledge are

required when working on the battery, e.g.

removal and installation. You should there-

fore have all work involving the battery car-

ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

G

WARNING

Work carried out incorrectly on the battery

can lead, for example, to a short circuit and

thus damage the vehicle electronics. This can

lead to function restrictions applying to

safety-relevant systems, e.g. the lighting sys-
tem, ABS (anti-lock braking system) or ESP

®

(Electronic Stability Program). The operating

safety of your vehicle may be restricted. You

could lose control of the vehicle, for example:

R

braking

R

in the event of abrupt steering maneuver

and/or when the vehicle's speed is not

adapted to the road conditions

There is a risk of an accident.

In the event of a short circuit or a similar inci-

dent, contact a qualified specialist workshop

immediately. Do not drive any further. You

should have all work involving the battery car-

ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

Electrostatic build-up can lead to the creation

of sparks, which could ignite the highly explo-

sive gases of a battery. There is a risk of an

explosion.
Before handling the battery, touch the vehicle

body to remove any existing electrostatic

build-up.

The highly flammable gas mixture forms when

charging the battery as well as when jump-

starting.
Always make sure that neither you nor the

battery is electrostatically charged. A build-

up of electrostatic charge can be caused, for

example:

R

by wearing clothing made from synthetic

fibers

R

due to friction between clothing and seats

R

if you push or pull the battery across the

carpet or other synthetic materials

R

if you wipe the battery with a cloth

G

WARNING

During the charging process, a battery produ-

ces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs or

sparks are created, the hydrogen gas can

ignite. There is a risk of an explosion.

R

Make sure that the positive terminal of a

connected battery does not come into con-

tact with vehicle parts.

R

Never place metal objects or tools on a bat-

tery.

R

It is important that you observe the descri-

bed order of the battery terminals when

connecting and disconnecting a battery.
