Emergencies
●
Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
● Do not place the air compressor or inflator
tube onto flammable materials while they are
hot.
● Before storing the equipment, let it cool.
● If a minimum pressure of 2.0 bar
(29 psi / 200 kPa) cannot be reached, the tyre
is badly damaged. In this instance, the seal-
ant will not be able to seal the tyre. Do not
continue driving. Seek specialist assistance. CAUTION
The air compressor should be turned off after
a maximum of 8 minutes since otherwise it
will overheat. Before switching it on again, let
it cool for a few minutes. Check after 10 minutes of driving
Screw the inflator tube
››› Fig. 190 8 again
and check the tyre pressure on the gauge 7 .
Equal to or below 1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa):
● Stop driving! The tyre could not be suffi-
c iently
sealed with the tyre mobility system.
● You should obtain professional assistance
››› .
Equal to or above 1.4 bar (20 psi/140 kPa):
● Correct the tyre pressure until the correct
level is reached ››› page 231 . ●
Car
efully head to the nearest specialised
workshop at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
● Ask the workshop to change the damaged
tyre. WARNING
Driving with a tyre that cannot be sealed is
dangerous and may lead to accidents and se-
rious injury.
● Do not continue driving if the tyre pressure
is 1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) or lower.
● Seek specialist assistance. Starting assistance
Introduction If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery of another vehi-
cle can be used to start the engine. Before
starting, check the magic eye on the battery
››› page 227 .
F or s
tarting assistance, jump lead cables con-
forming to the standard DIN 72553 are re-
quired (see the cable manufacturer instruc-
tions). The jump lead cable must be at least
25 mm 2
in section (0.038 inches 2
) for petrol
engines, and 35 mm 2
(0.054 inches 2
) for die-
sel engines. For vehicles whose battery is not in the en-
gine compartment, the jump leads should
only be connected to the starting assistance
connection points in the engine compart-
ment.
WARNING
Incorrect use of jump leads and incorrectly
jump starting could cause the battery to ex-
plode resulting in serious injury. Please ob-
serve the following rules to minimise the risk
of a battery explosion:
● The battery providing current must have
the same voltage (12V) and approximately
the same capacity (see markings on battery)
as the flat battery.
● Never charge a frozen or recently thawed
battery. A flat battery can also freeze at tem-
peratures close to 0 °C (+32 °F).
● If a battery is frozen and/or has been frozen
then it must be replaced.
● A highly explosive mixture of gases is re-
leased when the battery is being charged. Al-
ways keep lit cigarettes, flames, sparks and
fire far from the battery. Never use a mobile
telephone when connecting and removing the
jump leads.
● Charge the battery only in well ventilated
areas given that when the battery is charged
by outside assistance, it creates a mix of
highly explosive gases.
● Jump leads should never enter into contact
with moving parts in the engine compart-
ment. » 253

Advice
●
Never switch the positive and negative
poles or connect the jump leads incorrectly.
● Note the instruction manual provided by
the manufacturer of the jump leads. CAUTION
To avoid considerable damage to the vehicle
electrical system, note the following careful-
ly: ● If the jump leads are incorrectly connected,
this could result in a short circuit.
● The vehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected. Positive pole on the starting
assistance points

In the engine compartment: positive
pole for starting assistance + On some vehicles, there is a starting assis-
tance terminal in the engine compartment,
under a labelled cover.

1. Switch off the ignition of both vehicles
››› .
2. Connect one end of the red jump lead to
the po s
itive + terminal of the vehicle
with the flat battery A
››› Fig. 192 .
3. C
onnect the other end of the red
jump
lead to the positive terminal + in the ve-
hicle providing assistance B .
4. For vehicles without Start-Stop system:
connect one end of the black jump lead to
the negative terminal – of the vehicle
providing the current B
››› Fig. 192 .
– For
vehicles with Start-Stop system: con-
nect one end of the black jump lead X to a
suitable ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine
block itself ››› Fig. 193 .
5. C
onnect the other end of the black jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
to the engine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
