Greetings,
Purchased the 2014 W222 S400 Hybrid L SE Line last year.
Beautiful vehicle one of the best S classes I've had - and I've had four S classes, starting from the 1998 S350 Limo which was built like a tank.
Anyway, recently I went away for a few weeks and after about 10 days I got a text from 'Mercedes Me':
"The starter battery charge status of vehicle ……. is critical. If you have any questions, please call 0800 1 7777777."
I managed to get my son to go round and switch the car on for a while and all seemed to be well.
That got me thinking - where is the battery?.
There was nothing in the manual, but there is a section about a how to disconnect the electrical system in an emergency - and in that sketch it shows the 12v battery in the boot. It looked like it was behind the back seats in the forward part of the boot.
But when I empty the boot, take off the felting, etc, I found the cut-off switch on the right, and looking towards the back seats expected to see the battery - but found a solid metal bulkhead there. So where is the battery?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
