The essentials
Start the engine of the vehicle with the
fl at
b
attery and wait for 2 or 3 minutes
until the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads Before you remove the jump leads,
switch off the dipped beam headlights if
they are switched on.
Turn on the heater blower and heated
rear window in the vehicle with the flat
battery. This helps minimise voltage
peaks which are generated when the
leads are disconnected.
When the engine is running, disconnect
the leads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again after
about 1 minute. WARNING
● Ple a

se note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››  page 187.
● The battery providing assistance must have
the same v
oltage as the flat battery (12V) and
approximately the same capacity (see imprint 8.

on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an exp
lo

sion.
● Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries
is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
awa
y from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufact
urer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehic
le directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Never attach the negative cable to fuel sys-
tem component
s or the brake lines in the oth-
er vehicle.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamp
s must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot c
ome into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult
in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
erw i

se electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Changing the wiper blades

Emergencies
Additional bulb specifications
The s pec
ific
ations of some headlamp bulbs
and bulbs for the rear lamps fitted at the fac-
tory may be different to those of conventional
bulbs. Bulb information is displayed on the
bulb socket or on the bulb itself. WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is
not c l

early visible to other drivers, there is a
risk of accident. WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause
serious ac

cidents.
● Before carrying out any work in the engine
compar
tment please read and observe the
warnings ››› page 187. In any vehicle, the en-
gine compartment is a hazardous area and
could cause severe injury.
● The bulbs H4, HB4 and H7 are pressurised
and might exp
lode on changing them.
● Only replace the bulbs concerned when
they hav
e cooled.
● Never replace bulbs alone if you are not fa-
miliar w
ith the operations necessary. If you
are not sure about procedures then visit a
specialised workshop to carry out the neces-
sary work.
● Never touch the bulb glass directly. Finger-
prints w
ill be evaporated by the heat of the operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflec-
tor
.
● The he

adlamp frameworks in the engine
compar
tment and the rear lamps contain
sharp elements. Always protect your hands
when changing bulbs. CAUTION
● Af ter c

hanging a bulb, if the rubber covers
are not replaced correctly on the headlamp
framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to en-
ter.
● Remove the ignition key before working on
the electric sy
stem. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light
before c
hanging a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. Replacing the bulbs in the headlights

ch is in position .
● When the light switch is in position .WARNING
The side lights or daytime running lights are
not bright enough t

o illuminate the road
ahead and to ensure that other road users are
able to see you.
● Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is
raining or if visibility is poor. WARNING
If the headlights are set too high and not
used c orr

ectly, there is a risk of dazzling or
distracting other road users. This could result
in a serious accident.
● Always make sure that the headlights are
correctly
adjusted. Note
The legal requirements regarding the use of
vehic l

e lights in each country must be ob-
served. Lights and visibility: functions

are switched on each time
the ignition is turned on if the light setting is
in position  or in position . WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is
not c l

early visible to other drivers, an acci-
dent may occur.
● Never use the daytime driving light if the

conditions and poor visibility. The daytime
driving lights are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driv
ing light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-
ing or in conditions of poor visibility. Note
The headlights, rear lights and turn signals
ma y

mist up temporarily on the inside in cool
or damp weather. This is normal and in no way effects the useful life of the vehicle light-
ing sy

Convenience turn signals
For the convenience turn signals, move the
lever as far as possible upwards or down-
wards and release the lever. The turn signal
will flash 3 times. The convenience indicators can be deactiva-
ted at a

Specialised workshop. WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or
for g

etting to deactivate them can confuse
other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident.
● Always give warning when you are going to
chan
ge lane, overtake or when turning, acti-
vating the turn signal in good time.
● As soon as you have finished changing
lane, ov
ertaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off. WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
cident s

and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers. Note
● If the c on

venience turn signals are operat-
ing (three flashes) and the other convenience
turn signals are switched on, the active part
stops flashing and only flashes once in the
new part selected.
● The turn signal only works when the igni-

A faulty vehicle in traffic represents a risk of
acc ident
for the driver and for other road
users.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park the
vehicle a safe distance from sur-
rounding traffic to lock all the doors in case of
an emergency. Turn on the hazard warning
lights to warn other road users.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the v
ehicle if the doors are to be
locked. In case of an emergency, passengers
will be trapped inside the vehicle. Individuals
locked in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures. WARNING
The components of the exhaust system reach
ver y

high temperatures. This could cause a
fire and considerable damage.
● Always park your vehicle so that no part of
the exhau
st system can come in contact with
flammable materials (such as dried grass or
fuel). Note
● The v ehic

le battery will discharge and run
down if the hazard warning lights remain on
for too long (even with the ignition turned
off). 106
