WARNING Risk of an accident due to work carried out incorrectly on the battery
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery can, for example, lead to a short circuit. This can lead to function restrictions in safety-relevant systems, for example 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 in the following situations:

  • when braking
  • in the event of abrupt steering maneuvers and/or when the vehicle's speed is not adapted to the road conditions
  • In the event of a short circuit or a similar incident, contact a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
  • Do not continue driving.
  • Always have work on the battery carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
  • Further information on ABS
  • Further information on ESP

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use batteries which have been tested and approved for your vehicle by Mercedes- Benz. These batteries provide increased impact protection to prevent vehicle occupants from suffering acid burns should the battery be damaged in the event of an accident.
