terminal must not touch metal parts of the vehicle: this can cause
short circuiting.
•
Do not bend over the batteries – risk of acid burns.
•
The screw plugs on the battery ce
lls must be screwed in firmly.
•
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes away from batteries:
the gases given off can cause an explosion.
•
If jump-starting another vehicle, position the jump leads in
such a way that they cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compart ment of the other vehicle.Caution
Please note that the above method of connecting the leads is meant
for jump-starting your vehicle. If jump-starting another vehicle, you
should not connect the negative lead (–) to the negative terminal of
the discharged battery, but directly to the engine block or a solid
metal part bolted to the engine bl ock. If the battery of the other
vehicle does not have a gas vent, there is a risk that a mixture of
oxygen and hydrogen gas can accumulate and cause an
explosion.Tow-starting and towing awayGeneral notes
Points to observe when tow-starting or towing awayIf you use a towrope:
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
– The towrope must be taut before driving off. – Engage the clutch very gently when starting to move; on
vehicles with automatic gearbox press the accelerator
slowly.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
– The ignition should be switched on so that the turn signals, horn, windscreen wipers and washers can be
used. Please ensure that the steering wheel is unlocked
when you switch on the ignition, and that it moves freely.
–Put gear lever in neutral (manual gearbox) or move
selector lever to position N (automatic gearbox).
– The brake servo and power steering only work when the engine is running. Considerably more effort is required
on the brake pedal and steering wheel when the engine
is switched off.
– Ensure that the towrope remains taut at all times when towing.
Towrope or towbar
It is easier and safer to tow a vehicle with a tow bar. You should only
use a tow rope if you do not have a towbar.
A towrope should be slightly elasti c to reduce the loading on both
vehicles. It is advisable to use a towrope made of synthetic fibre or
similar material.
Attach the tow-rope or tow-bar only to the towing anchorages
intended for this purpose ⇒page 268 or ⇒page 269 .
Driving technique
Towing requires some experience – especially when using a
tow rope . Both drivers should be familiar with the technique required
for towing. Inexperienced drivers sh ould not attempt to tow-start or
tow away another vehicle.

Rear towline anchorage
Vehicles which do not have a factory-fitted towing
bracket* have a towline anchor age on the right side of the
rear bumper.Vehicles with towline anchorage
– Take the towline anchorage out of the vehicle's tool kit.
– To detach the cover cap from the bumper, firmly press
the lower part of the cap inwards to release it ⇒fig. 252.
– Screw the towline anchorage firmly all the way into the screw connection.
Vehicles with towing bracket*
– Fit the towing bracket if it is not already in place.
– Attach the towbar or the towrope to the towing bracket.After use, unscrew the towline anchorage and put it back in the
toolbox. Replace the cap in the screw connection. The towline
anchorage should always be kept in the vehicle.
Vehicles which have a factory-fitted towing bracket* do not have a
screw connection at the rear for the towline anchorage.
WARNING
•
If the towline anchorage is not screwed in as far as the stop,
there is a risk of the screw connection shearing off during towing
(accident risk).
•
If your car has a towing bracket*, please use only special tow
bars with suitable attachments (i .e. tow bars which are specially
designed for use with towing brac kets) to avoid damage to the
coupling equipment.
•
If your car has a towing bracket*, please use only special
towing ropes (risk of accident).
To w - s t a r t i n g
As a general rule, tow-s tarting is not recommended.– Engage 2nd or 3rd gear before moving off.
– Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.
– Switch on the ignition.
– Once both vehicles are moving, release the clutch.
– As soon as the engine starts: press the clutch and put the
gear lever in neutral.If the engine will not start, it is best to try starting it using the
battery of another vehicle ⇒page 265 before attempting to tow
start. You should only try to tow-start the engine if jump-starting is
not successful. Tow-starting is an attempt to start the engine via the
movement of the wheels.
When tow-starting a vehicle with a petrol engine, do not tow it more
than a short distance, otherwise unburnt fuel can enter the catalytic
converter and cause damage.
For technical reasons, it is not possible to tow-start a vehicle with
automatic gearbox .

General notes
294Vehicle data sticker
The vehicle data sticker ⇒ page 293, fig. 285 is located near the
battery in the luggage compartment. One section of the vehicle data
sticker is attached to the inside cover of the Service Schedule before
the vehicle is handed over.
The sticker lists the following data:
Vehicle identification number (chassis number)
Vehicle type / engine power / gearbox type
Engine and gearbox code letters
Paint No. / Interior equipment No.
Optional equipment codes
Fuel consumption and emissions
Fuel consumption and emissions
Information on the vehicle's fuel consumption and emissions is
given at the bottom of th e vehicle data sticker :
Urban cycle consumption (ltr./100 km)
Extra-urban cycle consumption (ltr./100 km)
Combined cycle consumption (ltr./100 km)
Combined CO
2 emissions (g/km)
The specified values were determined in accordance with the test
procedure prescribed by the currently applicable version of
Directive 80/1268/EEC. The specifications do not refer to an indi-
vidual vehicle. The consumption figures achieved during normal
driving may differ from the test values quoted in accordance with
the above Directive, depending on special equipment fitted, vehicle
loading, personal driving style, r oad and traffic conditions, environ-
mental factors and the condition of the car.
