Warning  
Vehicle batteries that are not recommended  
can damage vehicle systems and impair ve-  
hicle functions. There is a risk of accident,  
injury, or property damage. Only use vehicle  
batteries recommended by the vehicle manu-  
facturer. For information on suitable vehicle

retina of the eye. There is a risk of injury. Do  
not look directly into the headlights or other

Headlight glass  
The inside of the headlight glass can fog up  
in cool or humid weather. When driving with  
the lights switched on, the condensation evap-  
orates after a short time. The headlight glass  
does not need to be changed.  
Registering the battery to the  
vehicle  
If, despite driving with the headlights switched  
on, moisture such as water droplets increas-  
ingly forms in the light, have the headlights  
checked.  
The vehicle manufacturer recommends hav-  
ing an authorized service center or another  
qualified service center or repair shop register  
the vehicle battery to the vehicle after the bat-  
tery has been changed. Once the battery has  
been registered again, all comfort features will  
be available without limitation and any Check  
Control messages displayed which relate to  
comfort features will disappear.

hicle has a 12 volt vehicle battery. The vehicle

Charging the battery  
A charger that is installed in the vehicle sup-  
plies the vehicle battery with power. The
