Practical hints

Jump starting

왔 Jump starting

If the starter battery is discharged, the en-

gine can be started with jumper cables and

the battery of another vehicle. Observe the

following:

앫 Jump starting should only be performed

when the engine and catalytic

converter are cold.

앫 Do not start the engine if the battery is

frozen. Let the battery thaw out first.

앫 Only jump start from batteries with the

same voltage rating (12V). Jump start-

ing with a more powerful battery could

damage the vehicle’s electrical system,

which will not be covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

앫 Only use jumper cables with sufficient

cross section and insulated terminal

clamps.

앫 Always make sure the jumper cables

are not on or near pulleys, fans, or

other parts that move when an engine

is started or running.

Warning! G

Failure to follow these directions will cause

damage to the electronic components, and

can lead to a battery explosion and severe

injury or death.

Never lean over batteries while connecting

or jump starting, you might get injured.

Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not

allow this fluid to come in contact with eyes,

skin or clothing. In case it does, immediately

flush affected area with water, and seek

medical help if necessary.

A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,

which is flammable and very explosive. Keep

flames or sparks away from battery, avoid

improper connection of jumper cables,

smoking, etc.

Attempting to jump start a frozen battery

can result in it exploding, causing personal

injury.

Read all instructions before proceeding.

Do not tow-start the vehicle.

Jump starting may only be performed on the

battery installed in the engine compartment.

Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts.

Do not attempt to start the engine using a bat-

tery quick charge unit.

If the engine does not run after several unsuc-

cessful starting attempts, have it checked at the

nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Excessive unburned fuel generated by repeated

failed starting attempts may damage the

catalytic converter and may present a fire risk.

Make sure the jumper cables do not have loose

or missing insulation.

Make sure the cable clamps do not touch any

other metal part while the other end is still

attached to a battery.
