Charging with the battery charger
Only use the battery charge unit approved
by Mercedes-Benz and supplied with your
vehicle. This charger is designed to auto-
matically control the charge rate, and
charge the battery or maintain the existing
charge in the battery while the vehicle is
parked and not being driven for long
periods of time (on average approximately
3 weeks or more). Not driving the vehicle
for such extended periods may cause the
charge in the vehicle battery to drop.

is located next to the CD-changer on the
left-hand side in the trunk.
