Removing and installing battery: Notes

NOTE:
  • The battery is located in the radiator tank.
  • In order to avoid triggering the alarm siren (installed on right next to the battery) of vehicles with M 536, the battery must be disconnected with the ignition on!
  • All loads must be switched off beforehand! Remove ignition key!
  • Never disconnect battery with engine running!
  • Never start engine without securely connected battery!
  • The battery terminal clamps should only be attached without force to prevent damage to the battery housing.
  • Battery terminals should not be greased.
  • Check that the battery is seated correctly after installation. Other dangers exist with a loose battery such as: - Reduced service life due to vibration damage. - Damage to the grid plates of the battery. - Damage to the battery housing through the retaining bracket (possible acid leak, high subsequent costs). - Inadequate crash safety.
