NOTICE  
You can damage another location in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher amp rating.  
Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher rating.  
For technical reasons, your vehicle may not be push-started . If the engine cannot be started because the 12-volt vehicle battery  
is flat, the discharged battery can be connected to the 12-volt battery of another vehicle to start the engine.  
In vehicles with a 12-volt vehicle battery in the vehicle interior or luggage compartment, the jump leads must always be connected to  
the jump-start connection points in the bonnet space.  
WARNING  
Using the jump leads incorrectly or performing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause the 12-volt vehicle battery to explode.  
This can result in serious injuries.  
Always read and observe the warnings and safety information before carrying out any kind of work on the 12-volt vehicle battery  
(→ 12-volt vehicle battery).  
Never confuse the positive battery terminal with the negative battery terminal.  
Never perform jump starting on a vehicle with a frozen or thawed 12-volt vehicle battery.  
WARNING  
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the 12-volt vehicle battery is jump started. The explosive gas can ignite due to  
sparks when carrying out jump starting. This can result in serious injuries.
