Battery

Your vehicle’s battery is located in the
trunk under the right hand wheel well cov-
er panel (

page 313).

The battery should always be sufficiently
charged in order to achieve its rated ser-
vice life. Refer to Service Booklet for bat-
tery maintenance intervals.

If you use your vehicle mostly for short dis-
tance trips, you will need to have the bat-
tery charge checked more frequently.

When replacing the battery, always use
batteries approved by Mercedes-Benz.

If you do not intend to operate your vehicle
for an extended period of time, consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center about
steps you need to observe.
