194 Checking and filling
When charging at low voltages (e.g . w ith a
tri ckle charger ), the battery cables do not
have to be d isconnected first. Be fore charging
at
high voltages, i.e. " fast charging ", you
must disconnect both cables. In e ither case,
follow the instruct ions from the ma nufacturer
of the charger .
Fastcharging a battery is
dangerous c:> .&. in
Working on the battery on page 192 .
It re
qu ires specia l charg ing equipment a nd the
k nowledge to go wi th it. We recomme nd hav
ing your battery fast charged on ly by a quali
fied workshop.
A discharged batte ry can
freeze at tempera
tures of on ly 32 °F (0

_&. WARNING
-
Cha rging a batte ry can be dange rous.
- N ever charge a fro zen b att ery .
It may ex

Allow a frozen battery to thaw o ut first .
- D o no t reu se batte ries which we re fr o
zen . The batte ry housing m ay h ave
c rac ked an d weakened whe n the battery
froze .
- C harge the b attery in a we ll ven tilated
area . Kee p away from open flame o r elec
trical spa rk. Do not smoke. Hydrogen gas
generated by the battery is exp losive.
- To reduce the danger o f explosion, never
co nnect or disconnect charger cables
wh ile the charger is operating .
- Fast charg ing a battery is dangerous and
shou ld on ly be attempted by a compe
tent technician w ith the proper eq uip
me nt.
- Battery acid that may spill d uring charg
ing should be washed
off wit h a so lution
of warm water and baki ng soda to neu
t raliz e the aci d.
(D Note
Neve r use a fast charger as a booster to
start the eng ine. Th is w ill seriously dam
age sensit ive e lectronic components, such
as cont ro l units, re lays, radio, etc. , as well
as the battery charge r.
(D Tips
The vehicle batte ry must not be charged
with a standard small charger that plugs in to the c igarette lighter or outlet.

Starting by pushing or
towing
Q;) Note
Vehicle s with an automati c transmission
cannot be started by pushing or towing .
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine can be started by
connecting it to the battery of another vehi
cle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a
discha rged or wea k batte ry, the battery can be
connected to the battery o f
another vehicle,
using a
pair of jumper cables to start the en

Jumper cables
Use only jumper cab les of sufficiently
large cross section to safely carry the starter
cur rent. Refer to the manufacturer's specifica
ti ons.
Use on ly jumper cables which have
insulated
termina l clamps and are properly marked for

Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper coble
clomps in exactly the order described below!
Fi g. 168 Engine compartment: Connecto rs for jumper
cables and charger
Fig. 169 Jump starting with the battery of another ve
h icle: @discharged veh icle batte ry, @ booste r battery
The procedure described below for connecting
jumper cables is intended to provide a jump
start for your veh icle.
Preparatory measures
1. Do not jump start a frozen battery! Re
place such a battery!
2 . Otherwise apply the hand brake and shift
in to idle gear if your veh icle has manua l
transmission , and put the selector lever
into P position if your vehicle has auto
matic transm ission.
3. For both vehicles switch off all consumers
and the ignition.
Emergency situations 233
Connecting/disconnecting the jumper
cable.
4. Connect one end of the red jumper cable
on the
jump start bolt (D c:> fig. 169
(Bolts under red cover= "positive") of the
vehicle to be started @.
5. Connect the other end of the red jumper
cable to the positive term inal @of the
booster battery @.
6. Connect one end of the black jumper ca
ble to the negative terminal@ of the
booster battery @.
7. Connect the other end of the black jumper
cable to the negative terminal (bolt head)
@ in the external starting point @of
your vehicle.
8. Route the jumper cables so that they can not catch in any rotat ing parts in the en
gine compartment .
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing
assistance and allow it to run at idle.
10. Now start the engine of the vehicle w ith
the d ischarged battery, wait for two to
three minutes until the engine "runs"
smoot hly.
11. If the engine does not start: Stop trying
after 10 seconds and then try again after
about 30 seconds.
12. In the vehicle that has received start as
s istance, turn on the heater blower and
the rear window heating to eliminate any
voltage peaks when disconnecting. Driv ing lights must be switched off!
13. Disconnect the cable while the eng ine is
running exactly in
reverse order to that
described inc:>
page 233, Connecting/dis
connecting the jumper coble ..
When do
ing so, make sure that the cable cannot
contact rotating engine parts.
14. C lose the cover on the positive terminal.
T he battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle interior . Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connect
ed with their
metal ports in full contact with
the battery term inals.
234 Emergency sit uat ions
_& WARNING
To avo id serious per sonal injury and dam
age to the vehicle, heed all warnings and
instructions of the jumper cable manufac
turer. If in doubt, call for road serv ice.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so
that the vehicles do not touch.
- When connecting jumper cables, make
surethattheycannotgetca ughtinany
moving parts in the eng ine compart
ment.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS

partment.
(D Note
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ru
in the generator.
- Always connect POSITIVE( +) to POSI
TIVE(+), and NEGATIVE(-) to NEGATIVE ( - ) ground post of the battery manager
control unit.
- Check that all screw plugs on the battery
ce lls are screwed in firmly. If not, tighten
plugs prior to connecting clamp on nega
tive battery terminal.
- Please note that the procedure for con
nect ing a jumper cable as described
above applies spec ifically to the case of
you r vehicle be ing jump started. When
you are giving a jump star t to a nothe r ve
hicle, do
not connect the negat ive (-) ca
ble to the negat ive (-) term inal on the
discharged battery @. Instea d, secure ly
connect the negative (-) cable to either a
solid metal component that is firmly
bo lted to the engine block or to the en
gine block itself. If the battery that is be i ng charged does not vent to the outside,
escap ing batte ry gas cou ld ign ite and ex
