Jump-starting

For the jump-starting procedure, use only the jump-starting connection point, consisting of a

positive terminal and a ground point, in the engine compartment.

WARNING

Battery acid is caustic. There is a risk of injury.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over the

battery. Keep children away from batteries. Wash away battery acid immediately with plenty of

clean water and seek medical attention.

WARNING

During charging and jump-starting, explosive gases can escape from the battery. There is a risk

of an explosion.

Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient ven-

tilation while charging and jump-starting. Do not lean over a battery.

WARNING

During the charging process, a battery produces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs or sparks

are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is a risk of an explosion.

Make sure that the positive terminal of a connected battery does not come into contact with

vehicle parts.

Never place metal objects or tools on a battery.

It is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting

and disconnecting a battery.

When jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected.

It is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting

the jumper cables.

Never connect or disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is running.

WARNING

A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezing point. When jump-starting the

vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is a risk of an explosion.

Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before charging it or jump-starting.

Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could be

damaged by the non-combusted fuel.

Do not start the vehicle using a rapid charging device. If your vehicle's battery is discharged,

the engine can be jump-started from another vehicle or from a second battery using jumper

cables. Observe the following points:

The battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible,

jump-start the vehicle using a second battery or a jump-starting device.

You may only jump-start the vehicle when the engine and exhaust system are cold.

Do not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
