\3 Jump-startingIf the starter battery in the battery recess
in the driver’s footwell is discharged, the
engine can be jump-started from another
vehicle using jump leads.
For this purpose, the vehicle is equipped
with a jump-starting connection point.
Please note:
\4Jump-starting must only be performed
when the engine and catalytic convert-
er are cold.\4Do not start the engine if the battery
has frozen. Let the battery thaw out
first.
\4Only use a battery of the same rated
voltage and of approximately the same
capacity for jump-starting.
\4Only use jumper cables of adequate
cross-section with insulated battery
terminal clamps.
\1Make sure that the two vehicles do not
touch.
\1Apply the handbrake or move the se-
lector lever to positionP.
\1Switch off all electrical consumers.
\1Switch on the battery isolating switch*
if necessary (\2page 197).\1Remove the key from the ignition lock.
\1Open the hood (\2page 185).
The jump-starting connection point is on
the left-hand side of the air cleaner in the
engine compartment when looking in the
direction of travel.

ble
\1Remove the positive terminal cover
from the donor battery.
\1Connect positive terminal of donor bat-
tery 2 to jump-starting connection
point 1 with the jumper cable. Start
with the donor battery.
iThe auxiliary battery* in the engine
compartment is not suitable for jump-
starting operations. Only use the jump-
starting connection in the engine com-
partment if you require jump-starting
assistance or wish to provide jump-
starting assistance.!
CAUTION
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting at-
tempts.
Never start the vehicle using a rapid
battery charger.
Warning
G
Avoid creating sparks. Keep naked flames
away from the battery, and do not smoke.
Comply with safety precautions and special
protective measures when handling batter-
ies (\2page 195).
