IMPORTANT
When replacing the starter battery, in cars
with Start/Stop function, a battery of the
correct type must be fitted, EFB
12
in cars
with manual gearbox and AGM
13
in cars
with automatic gearbox.
When replacing the support battery, a bat-
tery of AGM type must be fitted.
IMPORTANT
If the starter battery is replaced, make sure
you replace it with a battery with the same
cold starting capacity and type as the orig-
inal battery (see the label on the battery).
NOTE
•
The battery's container size should be
consistent with the original battery's
dimensions.
•
The battery's height is different
depending on size.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark
can be formed if a jump lead is con-
nected incorrectly, and this can be
enough for the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid,
which can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing, flush with
large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes - seek medical
attention immediately.
IMPORTANT
When charging the starter battery or the
support battery (p. 371), only use a mod-
ern battery charger with controlled charg-
ing voltage. Fast charging function must
not be used since it may damage the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT
If the following instruction is not observed
then the energy saving function for info-
tainment system may be temporarily dis-
engaged, and/or the message in the com-
bined instrument panel's information dis-
play about the starter battery's state of
charge may be temporarily inapplicable,
following the connection of an external
battery or battery charger:
•
The negative battery terminal on the
car's starter battery must never be
used for connecting an external bat-
tery or battery charger - only the car
chassis may be used as the ground-
ing point.
See Jump starting (p. 267) for a descrip-
tion of how the cable clamps must be
attached.
