Mercedes Benz 2003 e 320 User Manual

Your vehicle is equipped with two batter-
ies:

앫

Auxiliary battery (located in the engine 
compartment).

앫

Main battery (starter and electrical 
consumers; located in the trunk).

These batteries should always be suffi-
ciently charged in order to achieve their 
rated service life.

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 batteries, always use bat-
teries 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. 
Recycling of batteries is the preferred 
method of disposal. Many states require 
sellers of batteries to accept old batteries 
for recycling.

and precautions when handling 
automotive batteries.
