Starting a Mercedes-Benz B200 may seem unusual compared to other vehicles since the battery is not typically located in the engine compartment but rather in the trunk or under a cover at the passenger's seat. Despite this difference, the process for jumpstarting remains the same. You have options to jumpstart using another vehicle, a booster starter jump box, or a battery charger. Whichever method you choose, the process is consistent. Begin by attaching the positive cable to the positive terminal or jump point under the hood (not directly to the battery). Follow this step by connecting the other end of the cable similarly if you are using another vehicle to jumpstart. Next, secure the negative cable to an unpainted surface under the engine hood (after attaching it to the negative clamp on the assisting vehicle if needed). Finally, start the remote vehicle, or activate the booster box or charger, and you'll be able to start your B200.

    To get a Mercedes Benz B200 going, you'll have to use another vehicle. Position both cars facing each other, close together. Pop the hoods and attach the positive and negative terminals to each battery. Start the assisting car, let it run for a minute, then try starting the vehicle with the dead battery to check if it's been charged.

    Rose F seems to lack knowledge about the B200, as the battery is not located under the hood but instead in the driver's footwell.
