Practical hints
Batteries
Your vehicle is equipped with two bat-
teries:
앫 The starter battery (located in the en-
gine compartment)
앫 The battery for electrical consumers
(located in the trunk)
These batteries should always be suffi-
ciently charged in order to achieve their
rated service life. Refer to Maintenance
Booklet for battery maintenance inter-
vals.
If you use your vehicle mostly for short-
distance trips, you will need to have the
battery charge checked more frequently.
When replacing batteries, always use
batteries approved by us for use on
Maybach vehicles.
If you do not intend to operate your ve-
hicle for an extended period of time,
consult an authorized Maybach Studio
about steps you need to observe.
Batteries contain materials that can
harm the environment if disposed of im-
properly. Recycling of batteries is the
preferred method of disposal. Many
states require sellers of batteries to ac-
cept old batteries for recycling.
