Battery recycling
Start batteries and support batteries contain lead and must be recycled in an environmentally sound manner at the end of their service life.
Start battery
The vehicle has a single-pole electrical system that uses the chassis and engine mount as conductors. The start battery is used to start the electrical system and power the starter motor and other electrical equipment in the vehicle. The start battery should only be replaced by a workshop.
Support battery
Vehicles with the Start/Stop function are equipped with two batteries – a more powerful 12 V start battery and a support battery that provides stronger current during the function's start sequence.
