Mobility
– Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the
collapsible spare wheel is fitted – higher
speeds can cause an accident.
WARNING
– When it is discharged the vehicle battery
can freeze at temperatures around 0 °C. A
frozen vehicle battery must first be thawed
out before connecting the jump leads – risk
of explosion and chemical burns! After
jump-starting the vehicle, drive to a quali-
fied workshop without delay and have the
vehicle battery checked.
– Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering when the collapsible spare
wheel is fitted – risk of accident!
– Never use more than one collapsible spare
wheel on the vehicle at the same time – risk
of accident!
– No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyres) may be fitted on the rim of the
collapsible spare wheel.
– Note the safety warnings referring to work-
ing in the engine compartment ðpage 320.
– Incorrect handling of the jump leads may re-
sult in the vehicle battery exploding (risk of
serious injury).
CAUTION
Turn the compressor off after 10 minutes at
the latest (risk of overheating). Allow the
compressor to cool down for a few minutes
before using it again.
CAUTION
– If the jump leads are not connected correct-
ly this can result in serious damage to the
vehicle's electrical system.
Jump-starting
– Plug-in hybrid drive: Do not use your vehicle
to jump-start another vehicle. This would
cause serious damage to your vehicle's elec-
trical system.
Preparations
You should not attempt the following steps un-
less you are in possession of the necessary equip-
ment and have the skills required.
Note
– There must be no contact between the two
vehicles as otherwise current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals are connec-
ted. This would discharge the boosting bat-
tery.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, you can use another vehicle to
start the engine. Suitable jump leads are re-
quired.
Both vehicle batteries must be rated at 12 volts.
The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should
not be significantly lower than that of the dis-
charged battery.
– The discharged vehicle battery must be
properly connected to the vehicle's electri-
cal system.
– Switch off any electrical equipment you do
not need.
Jump leads
The jump leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
Only use jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable – usually red.
Negative cable – usually black.
