Mercedes Benz 2008 c300 Manuale Utente

Your vehicle’s battery is located in the 
engine compartment.

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

If you use your vehicle mostly for 
short-distance trips, you will need to have 
the battery 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.

Batteries contain materials that can harm 
the environment if disposed of improperly. 
Large 12-volt storage batteries contain 
lead. Recycling of batteries is the preferred 
method of disposal. Many states require 
sellers of batteries to accept old batteries 
for recycling.
