Anti-theft wheel bolt adapter. Always carry  
the wheel bolt adapter in the vehicle with  
the on-board tool. The wheel bolts protec-  
tion code number is engraved on the front  
part of the adapter. With this number it is  
possible to acquire a new replacement

The assistance providing vehicle's battery  
must be of the same voltage as the dis-  
charged vehicle battery (12-volt) and be ap-  
proximately of the same capacity (see im-  
print on battery).  
Never charge a frozen or defrosted vehicle  
battery. A discharged vehicle battery can  
even freeze at temperatures of around 0° C  
(+32° F).  
The battery should be replaced if it has fro-  
zen or defrosted.

Wire hook for removing center caps or wheel  
bolt protections.  
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given  
off when jump starting the vehicle battery.  
Always keep fire, sparks, naked flames and lit  
cigarettes away from the vehicle battery.  
Never use a mobile telephone when the  
jump leads are being connected or discon-  
nected.  
Carry out jack maintenance  
Typically, the jack does not have maintenance cy-  
cles. If necessary, lubricate the jack with univer-  
sal grease.  
Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated  
space as the battery emits a highly explosive  
mixture of gases when the vehicle is being  
jump started.  
Jump starting  
Position the jump leads so that they never  
come into contact with any moving parts in  
the engine compartment.  
Introduction  
Never confuse the negative and positive ter-  
minals or connect the jump leads incorrectly.  
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-  
charged 12 V vehicle battery, it is possible to use  
another 12V battery from another vehicle to  
jump start the engine.  
Observe the jump lead manufacturer's in-  
structions.  
The discharged vehicle battery must be properly  
connected to the vehicle's electrical system.  
NOTICE  
Please note the following in order to avoid con-  
siderable damage to the vehicle electrical sys-  
tem:  
The jump leads must have sufficient length to  
ensure proper distance between the vehicles.  
WARNING  
short circuit can be caused if the jump leads  
are connected incorrectly.  
Using the jump leads incorrectly or completing  
the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause  
the battery to explode, which can lead to se-  
vere injuries. Please note the following points  
in order to reduce the risk of the battery ex-  
ploding:  
The vehicles must not touch each other, other-  
wise electricity could flow as soon as the posi-  
tive terminals are connected.  
All work on the vehicle battery and the elec-  
trical system can cause serious chemical  
burns, fire and electric shocks. Always read  
the warnings and safety information before  
carrying out any kind of work on the vehicle  
battery.
