Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be
used on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Sheu ld you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact
temporary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to
the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel
to replace the punctured front wheel.
A WARNING
- The tyre pressure must be checked as soon
as possible after fitting the spare wheel-an
incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk
of accident. You can find the tyre pressures
here ¢ page 233, Fig. 220.
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the
compact temporary spare wheel is fitted -
higher speeds can cause an accident.
- Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering when the compact temporary
spare wheel is fitted -risk of accident!
- Never use two or more compact spare tyres
at the same time -risk of accident!
- No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyres) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel.
]ump-starting Before starting the engine
If necessary, the engine can be started by con
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis
charged battery, the battery can be connected to
the battery of another vehicle to start the engine.
Suitable jump Leads are required.
Both batteries must be rated at 12 Volts. The ca
pacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be
significantly lower than that of the discharged
battery.
Jump Leads
The jump Leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
248 Only
use jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable -usually red.
Negative cable -usually black.
A WARNING
- When it is discharged the battery can freeze
at temperatures around 0°
(. A frozen bat
tery must first be thawed out before con
necting the jump leads, as it could other
wise explode.
- Note the safety warnings referring to work
ing in the engine compartment ¢ page 220.
(© Note
- There must be no contact between the two
vehicles as otherwise current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals are connec
ted and the boosting battery could be dis
charged.
- The disch arged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
- Switch off the car telephone if necessary.
Details will be given in the manufacturer's
instructions for the car telephone.

they cannot come into contact with any mov
ing parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
10. Start the engine of the vehicle with the
boosting battery and let it run at idling
speed.
11. Start the engine of the car with the dis
charged battery and wait two or three mi
nutes until the engine is running smoothly.
12. If the engine fails to start: do not operate the
starter for longer than 10 seconds. Wait for
about 30 seconds and try again.
13. Switch
on the blower and the rear window
heating on the vehicle which has been jump
started in order to offset excessive voltage
which may occur when disconnecting the
leads. The headlights must be switched off!
14. When the engines are running, disconnect
the leads in exactly the opposite sequence to
that described on¢ page 249, Connecting
and disconnecting the jump leads. Make sure
that the leads cannot come into contact with
any moving parts in the engine compart
ment.
15. Close the cap on the positive terminal.
16. Switch off the blower and the rear window
heating again.
_& WARNING
- The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The

- 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 can
not come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment of the oth
er vehicle.
CD CAUTION
Please note that the above method of con
necting the Leads is intended for jump-start
ing your vehicle. If jump-starting another ve
hicle, you should not connect the negative
lead (-) to the negative terminal of the dis
charged battery, but directly to the engine
block or a solid metal part bolted to the en
gin e block. 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 accu
mulate and cause an explosion.
@ Note
- The battery is vented to the outside to pre
vent gases entering the vehicle's interior.
- Connect the battery clamps so they have
good metal-to-metal contact with the bat
tery terminals.
Tow-starting / towing
away
General notes
Some experience is required to tow or tow-start a
vehicle, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique re
quired for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow-start or tow away another ve
hicle.
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and
take care to avoid jerking the tow-rope. When
towing off-road, there is always a risk that the
anchorage points may be overloaded.
Tow-bar / tow-rope
It is easier and safer to tow the vehicle with a
tow-bar. You should only use a tow-rope if you do
250 not
have a tow-bar. It is advisable to use a tow
rope made of elastic synthetic fibre or similarly
elastic material.
Notes on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow
rope. When the engine is not running, the gear
box will not be adequately Lubricated if the fol
lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob
served:
- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
SO km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
50km.
Additi onal notes on towing by breakdown
truck
If one of the axles has to be raised in order to tow
the vehicle, please refer to the following table to
determine the appropriate axle for your gearbox/
drive combination:
Front-wheel IFour-wheel
drive drive
Manual Front
or rear Front or rear
gearbox axle
axle
Automatic gearbox Front
axle Front axle
Four-wheel drive: If the vehicle is to be towed
with one of the axles raised, the ignition must be
switched off; otherwise the drive train can be
damaged.
Notes on tow-starting
Automatic gearbox: For technical reasons, your
vehicle must not be tow-started.
Manual gearbox: As a general rule, tow-starting
is not recommended. If the engine will not start,
it is best to try starting it using the battery of an
other vehicle ¢ page 248 before attempting to
tow start. If this is not possible, you can try to
push-star t or tow-start the vehicle ¢ page 251,
