Proceed as follows:

1. Position the vehicle with the charged battery so that

the jumper cables will reach, but never let the

vehicles touch. Make sure the jumper cables do not

have loose or missing insulation.

2. On both vehicles:

• Turn off engine and all lights and accessories,

except hazard warning flashers or work lights.

• Apply parking brake and shift selector lever to

position “P”.

Important!

3. Clamp one end of the first jumper cable to the

positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery and

the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the

charged battery. Make sure the cable clamps do not

touch any other metal parts.

4. Clamp one end of the second jumper cable to the

grounded negative (–) terminal of the charged

battery and the final connection to the negative (–)

under hood terminal of the disabled vehicle.

Important!

5. Start engine of the vehicle with the charged battery

and run at high idle. Make sure the cables are not

on or near pulleys, fans, or other parts that move

when the engine is started. Allow the discharged

battery to charge for a few minutes. Start engine of

the disabled vehicle in the usual manner.

6. After the engine has started, remove jumper cables

by exactly reversing the above installation

sequence, starting with the last connection made

first. When removing each clamp, make sure that it

does not touch any other metal while the other end

is still attached.

Note:

If engine does not run after several unsuccessful

starting attempts, have it checked at the nearest

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Excessive unburned fuel may damage the catalytic

converter.
