the vehicle interior.
Make sure that the jumper clamps are well connected with their
metal parts in full contact with the battery terminals .
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed
all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If
in doubt, call for road service.
• Jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not
touch.
• When connecting jumper cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.

NEGATIVE (- l terminal.
• Check that all screw plugs on the battery cells are screwed in
firmly. If not, tighten plugs prior to connecting clamp on negative
battery terminal.
• Please note that the procedure for connecting a jumper cable as
described above applies specifically to the case of your vehicle
being jump started. When you are giving a jump start to another
vehicle, do not connect the minus 1-1 cable to the minus (-1 terminal
on the discharged battery @::::, page 331, fig. 234. Instead, securely
connect the minus (-l cable to either a massive metal component
that is firmly bolted to the engine block or to the engine block itself .
If the battery that is being charged does not vent to the outside,
escaping battery gas could ignite and explode! •

Lifting the vehicle
Important safety precautions
Be aware of the following hazards before l ift ing the vehic le w ith a
w ork sho p ho is t or f lo or jack :
• The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from underneath
the engine oil pan, the transmission housing , the front or rear axle
or the body side members . This could lead to serious damage.
• Use lifting equipment with padded contact surfaces to avoid
damage to the underbody or chassis frame.
• Alternatively, cover the contact surfaces on workshop hoist or
floor ja ck with rubber pads before lifting.
• Before driving over a workshop hoist , check that the vehicle
weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the hoist. •
Before driving over a workshop hoist , ensure that there is suffi ­
cient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the vehicle .
& WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage:
• Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
=> fig . 239 and => fig . 240 .
• Failure to lift the vehicle at these points could cause the vehicle
to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle weight distri­
bution and balance . This might happen, for example, when heavy
components such as the engine block or transmission are
removed .
• When removing such heavy components, anchor vehicle to
hoist or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity . Otherwise , the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist ,
causing serious personal injury .

operation and reliability of your vehicle and even void your vehicle
wa rranty. T here fore, proof o f servic ing in acc orda nce with the main­
tenance schedule may be a condition for upholding a possib le
warranty cla im made with in t he war ran ty per iod .
Above all, operationa l safety can be adversely affected, creating
unnecessary risks for you and your passengers.
