Mercedes-Benz of Boerne invites you to find out why your Mercedes-Benz battery light is on.
If the car battery light comes on only when you start your vehicle, that’s just a normal system check. If the car battery light stays on after a few moments, then there is likely a problem. If you have problems with your battery, you may find that your headlights are getting dimmer, the stereo may not power on, and your power windows are moving slowly. If you see any of these things happening, then you need to get to your destination or bring it to us ASAP because your car is likely in imminent risk of being inoperable. If neither place is available, look for a safe spot to pull over and park.
Like nearly everything automotive-related, how far you can continue to drive with the car battery light turned on truly depends on your circumstances. If the light just turned on, then you can do things like switching off all non-vital systems such as the stereo or heater and removing any cellphones that may be connected to USB slots. Doing this can help extend the remaining battery life, but you should come straight here or return home. The most important thing is to NOT shut off the engine because a dying battery won’t have the power to restart.
There are several reasons why the car battery light might come on, but generally, the reasons are:
Your car does its best with a fully-charged battery. Any of these problems will make it hard for your car battery to get fully charged. If it is not corrected immediately, it may leave you stranded.
If there’s a safe place to pull over, at least you can open the hood and look at your battery for a loose cable or rust on the battery terminals. Besides those quick checks, the best way to get the battery light off is to bring it here. Our skilled technicians have the tools and skills to figure out the issue. They’ll investigate everything from checking out your alternator to the health of your battery and then recommend the correct plan to repair your car.
