read and heed all WARNINGS=>
page 217, "Engine compa rt m ent" .
0 Note
• Applying a higher voltage booster battery wil l cause expensive
damage to sensitive electronic components, such as contro l units,
relays, rad io, etc.
• There must be no electrical contact between the vehicles as
otherwise current cou ld already star t to flow as soon as th e positive
(+ ) termina ls are connected .
• Improperly connected jumper cab les can cause substantia l
damage to the electrica l system of the vehic le.
[ i ] Tips
• The disc harged battery must be p ro per ly connected to the

General information of starting
assistance
Please observe that the p rocedure described below for conn ect in g
jumper cab les is intended to provide a jump start for your vehicle.
M ake s ure th at th e connec ted cla mps have su ffic ien t

Start assistance differs for vehicles with a 4-cylinder engine and a 6-
cy lind er eng ine:
=> page 289, "Use of jumper cables (4 cyl inder eng ine)"
=> page 290, "Use of jumper cables (6 cylinder engine)"
& WARNING
Improper handling of the jumper cables can lead to an explosion
of the battery and severe injuries. To reduce the risk of injury , note
the following :
• The sections of the terminal clamps that are not insulated
must not tou ch ea ch other . In addition , the cable clamped to the
battery 's positive terminal must not come in contact with electri ­
cally conne cted parts of the vehicle -danger of short cir cuit!
• Route the jumper cable so that it cannot cat ch in any rotating
parts in the engine compartment .
• Do not bend over the batteries -danger of chemical burns!
• The battery cell locking screws must be tightened securely .
• Keep ignition sources (open flame, burning cigarettes, etc .)
away from the batteries -danger of explosion!
• Do not clamp the minus cable to parts of the fuel system or the
brake lines.

left door jamb. It shows the month and year of production and the
vehicle identification number of your vehicle (perforation) as well as
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR).
The high voltage warning label
is located on the lock carrier.
The spark ignition system complies with the Canadian
standard ICES-002. •
Weights
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for front and rear are listed on a sticker on the left
door jamb.
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating includes the weight of the basic
vehicle plus full fuel tank, oil and coolant, plus maximum load,
which includes passenger weight (150 lbs/68 kg per designated
seating position) and luggage weight.
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The Gross Axle Weight Rating is the maximum load that can be
applied at each axle of the vehicle ~& .
Vehicle capacity weight
The vehicle capacity weight (max. load) is listed either on the
driver's side B-pillar or inside the fuel filler flap .
Roof weight
The maximum permissible roof weight is 165 lb (75 kgl. The roof
weight is made up of the weight of the roof rack system and the
weight of the object being transported~
page 91, "Loading the
roof rack".
Controls and equip­ ment Safety first Vehicle operation
& WARNING
•
The actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the front and rear axles
should not exceed the permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
• Exceeding permissible weight ratings can result in vehicle
damage, accidents and personal injury.
0 Note
• The vehicle capacity weight figures apply when the load is
distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage compartment, carry the
load as near to the rear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible axle loads or the
maximum gross vehicle weight. Always remember that the vehicle's
handling will be affected by the extra load. Therefore, adjust your
speed accordingly.
• Always observe local regulations.•
Dimensions
The specifications refer to the basic model. Differences may occur
depending on the model type and options ordered, for example, tire
sizes.
0 Note
When driving up steep ramps, on rough roads, over curbs, etc. it is
important to remember that some parts of your vehicle, such as
spoilers or exhaust system components, may be close to the
ground. Be careful not to damage them. •
