Jump-starting

Introduction

For technical reasons the vehicle must not be tow-started ⇒

. If the engine cannot start because the 12 V vehicle battery is dead, the 12 V vehicle battery on

another vehicle can be used to start your vehicle.

For vehicles with a 12 V vehicle battery in the vehicle interior or luggage compartment, the jumper cables may only be connected to the jump-start points in the

engine compartment.

WARNING

Using jumper cables and performing a jump-start incorrectly can cause the 12 V vehicle battery to explode, which can cause serious injuries.

Always read and heed the warnings and safety precautions before working on the 12 V vehicle battery

Never confuse the positive battery terminal with the negative battery terminal.

WARNING

When jump-starting the 12 V vehicle battery, a highly explosive mixture of gas builds up, which is ﬂammable and can cause serious injuries. Sparks could form

and ignite the ﬂammable gas that is released by the 12 V vehicle battery.

Always keep ﬁres, sparks, open ﬂames, and lit cigarettes far away from the 12 V vehicle battery.

Avoid discharging static electricity near the 12 V vehicle battery.

NOTICE

Tow-starting can cause damage to the vehicle.
