Practical hints
Batteries
!
Never loosen or detach battery termi-
nal clamps while the engine is run-
ning or the SmartKey is in the starter
switch. Otherwise the alternator and
other electronic components could
be severely damaged.
Have the battery checked regularly
by an authorized Maybach Studio.
Refer to Maintenance Booklet for
maintenance intervals or contact an
authorized Maybach Studio for fur-
ther information.
Warning! G
Do not place metal objects on the battery
as this could result in a short circuit.
Use leak-proof battery only to avoid the
risk of acid burns in the event of an acci-
dent.
Warning! G
The SBC brake system requires electrical
power to operate.
A malfunction in the vehicle’s power sup-
ply or electrical system may impair brake
system operation and switch it into its
emergency operation mode. The same ap-
plies if battery is disconnected. To brake,
the driver must then apply significantly
greater brake pedal pressure and depress
the pedal much further to obtain the ex-
pected braking effect. If necessary, apply
full pressure to the brake pedal. Brakes are
only applied to the front wheels. Stopping
distance is increased! Adjust your driving
style accordingly. For more information,
refer to "SBC brake system" ( page 101).
Warning! G
With a disconnected battery
you will no longer be able to turn the
SmartKey in the starter switch and
pressing the KEYLESS-GO** start/stop
button
( page 55) on the gear selec-
tor lever will have no effect
the gear selector lever will remain
locked in position P
