Follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect jumper cables from your car&#8217;s positive cable terminal (red) and the Mercedes&#8217; negative cable terminal (black).<\/li>\n<li>Make sure they are touching the metal parts of each vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Start your car for five minutes, then stop it before disconnecting the cables.<\/li>\n<li>Let your <a class=\"tve-froala\" style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/batterytools.net\/how-to-charge-mercedes-auxiliary-battery\/\" data-lasso-id=\"21924\">Mercedes sit for five minutes to let the battery charge<\/a> before you try starting it again.<\/li>\n<li>If neither solution works, consult a mechanic or dealer about replacing the dead battery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"\">How to Force a Dead Car into Neutral<\/h2>\n<p>If you have a dead battery or your car won&#8217;t start and your key is stuck in the ignition, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turn on your Mercedes car&#8217;s emergency hazard lights and set the parking brake.<\/li>\n<li>If you do not have an electronic parking brake, use a brick or other object to hold down the brake pedal (inserting it between the two pedals) while working with the wires.<\/li>\n<li>Attempt to start your vehicle using jumper cables.<\/li>\n<li>If the car does not start, turn off the <a class=\"tve-froala fr-basic\" style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/batterytools.net\/do-hazard-lights-drain-battery\/\" data-lasso-id=\"21925\">hazard lights and remove cables from battery<\/a> terminals in reverse order of how they were connected (red to positive on Mercedes, black or negative ground).<\/li>\n<li>Find the shift lock override and engage it.<\/li>\n<li>On your shift selector, look for a small, detachable panel.

A dead battery can leave you stranded, and a discharged one will not always start your engine again when you try to put it back into drive. Also, some cars require extra steps to prevent damage before shifting into neutral, such as setting their parking brake or removing a fuse. If in doubt, do not attempt to get your car into neutral. Before attempting this maneuver with an unfamiliar vehicle, be sure to first consult its owner&#8217;s manual for specific instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During emergencies, it is essential to know how to put Mercedes in neutral with a dead battery, so you can quickly get out and stay safe.
