The EQS comes with a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/155,000-mile powertrain warranty. There is a hood latch under the driver’s side dashboard, but, only a Mercedes Tech is technically allowed to pop it open while your EQS is under warranty. Long story short, there are no serviceable parts under the hood of an EQS and, if you poke around your infotainment system to find info about the hood, there are instructions saying only specialists should open it. But, how could you fault them when even Habs himself didn’t know to leave a note instructing the tint people to do so.Īs Habs soon realized, he could not tell the tint window people to just jump start it.īecause, as I explained in a previous blog post, EQS owners aren’t allowed to open their own hoods where the 12-volt battery happens to be. If the window tint specialists had the EQS in the ON position instead of accessory mode, the 12-volt battery wouldn’t have drained to critical levels. Like most cars, electric cars included, the 12-volt battery is charged when the engine (or traction motor) is on. The primary 12-Volt is in red and the back-up 12-volt, included with certain options packages, is in green. Here’s where the 12-Volts are located on the EQS. During the process, he received notifications from his Mercedes App that his starter battery was getting critically low.Īlthough electric cars have a larger battery for its traction motor, they still need a 12-volt battery, like a regular gas car, to run lights, windows, wiper motors, fans, A/C, the heater, and your infotainment system. Mercedes EQS owner and Forum Member StormingHabs recently dropped off his EQS to get the windows tinted.
