Battery (vehicle)

Important safety notes

Special tools and expert knowledge are

required when working on the battery, e.g.

removal and installing. You should therefore

have all work involving the battery carried 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

system, 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

incident, contact a qualified specialist

workshop immediately. Do not drive any

further. You should have all work involving the

battery carried out at a qualified specialist

workshop.

For further information about ABS and ESP

®

,

see (

Y

page 67) and (

Y

page 72).

G

WARNING

Electrostatic build-up can lead to the creation

of sparks, which could ignite the highly

explosive 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

produces 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

contact with vehicle parts.

R

Never place metal objects or tools on a

battery.

R

It is important that you observe the

described order of the battery terminals

when connecting and disconnecting a

battery.

R

When jump-starting, make sure that the

battery poles with identical polarity are

connected.
