Maintenance
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the electrolyte will last for the life of the battery.
Your service center will be glad to advise you on questions regarding the battery.

Use approved vehicle batteries only.
Only use vehicle batteries that have been
approved for your vehicle by the manufacturer;
otherwise, the vehicle could be damaged and

After a battery replacement, have the battery registered on the vehicle by your service center to ensure that all comfort functions are fully available and that any Check Control messages are no longer displayed.
