Installation Location
| WARNING | Do not install AGM batteries in the engine compartment! |
Because of large temperature variations, AGM batteries must not be installed in the engine compartment. This would result in a significant reduction in the service life of the battery.
Battery Replacement
An AGM battery, when installed as original equipment, must always be replaced with an AGM battery.
In special cases, where a customer's driving profile (e.g. short distance driving), results in a discharged battery, the AGM battery is a recommended replacement. Note that replacement batteries resulting from a customer's driving profile cannot be claimed under warranty.
Battery Replacement Registration

- The current odometer reading is stored.
The odometer readings at which the last seven battery replacements took place can be read off from the Diagnosis Requests of Control Unit Functions.
- The stored battery statistics (current, voltage, battery charge level) are deleted.
- The stored temperature statistics are deleted.
