Where are the positive and negative jump-start points located on a Mercedes-Benz?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz positive and negative jump-start points are located under a black plastic cover at the lower left of the front windshield. Remove this cover to access the battery. The battery's red cover indicates the positive terminal, while opening the engine block reveals the negative terminal, which is a black electrode head. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Ensure the donor vehicle's battery has sufficient charge or has been running for a while to guarantee successful jump-starting. Confirm both vehicles' batteries share the same voltage - standard passenger cars use 12v batteries while tractors and large vehicles use 24v systems, which are incompatible. Connect the batteries using jumper cables when the recipient vehicle is completely powerless. Vehicle no-start situations are typically caused by battery discharge. For jumper cable selection, always use dedicated automotive-grade cables rather than homemade wires or low-quality alternatives for safety.
