Operation
Engine compartment
Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with two batter-
ies:
The starter battery (located in the en-
gine compartment)
The battery for electrical consumers 
(located in the trunk)
These batteries should always be suffi-
ciently charged in order to achieve their 
rated service 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 frequent-
ly. 
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.
