Do not start the vehicle using a rapid charging device. If your vehicle's battery is discharged,
the engine can be jump-started from another vehicle or from a second battery using jumper
cables. Observe the following points:
RThe battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible,
jump-start the vehicle using a second battery or a jump-starting device.
RYou may only jump-start the vehicle when the engine and exhaust system are cold.
RKeep away from fire and open flames.
RDo not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
RAll vehicles except Mercedes-AMG vehicles:do not start the engine if the battery is
frozen. Let the battery thaw first.

ROnly use jumper cables which have a sufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
RDo not lean over the battery.
RIf the battery is fully discharged, leave the battery that is being used to jump-start connected
for a few minutes before attempting to start. This charges the battery slightly.
RMake sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
Make sure tha t:
Rthe jumper cables are not damaged.
Rwhen the jumper cables are connected to the battery, uninsulated sections of the terminal
clamp do not come into contact with other metal sections.
