The discharged vehicle battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
The vehicles must not touch. Otherwise electricity could flow as soon as the positive terminals are connected.
Ensure that the battery clamps have good metal-to-metal contact with the battery terminals.
If the engine does not start immediately, switch off the starter after about 10 seconds and try again af-ter about half a minute.
The steps should only be carried out in the speci-fied order.
Attaching the jump leads
• Switch off the ignitions In both vehicles 257.

• Connect one end of the red jump lead to the positive terminal 318 E) or 319 E) of the vehicle with the discharged battery CD &.
• Connect the other end of the red jump lead to the positive terminal E) In the vehicle providing as-sistance@.
• In vehicles without start/stop system: con-nect one end of the black jump lead to the negative terminal 0 in the vehicle providing assistance @ 318.
• In vehicles with start/stop system: connect one end of the black jump lead @to a suitable earth connection, to a solid metal part which is se-curely bolted onto the cylinder or to the cylinder block itself =:-Fig. 319.
• Connect the other end of the black jump lead @ to a solid metal component that is bolted firmly to the engine block of the vehicle with the flat bat-tery, to the engine block itself or, if necessary, to the screwed-in towing eye at the front. Do not con-nect it to a point near the battery CD &.
• Position the leads in such a way that they can-not come into contact with any moving parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
• Start the engine of the vehicle which is provid-ing assistance and let it run at idle.
• Start the engine of the car with the discharged vehicle battery and wait two or three minutes until the engine is running "smoothly".
Removing the jump leads
• Before disconnecting the jump leads, switch off the dipped beam headlights If they are switched on.
• Turn on the heater blower and rear window heater in the vehicle battery with the discharged battery. This helps minimise the voltage peaks generated when the leads are disconnected.
• With the engines running, disconnect the jump leads in the exact reverse order to the instructions given above.
A WARNING
Jump starting the vehicle Incorrectly can cause the battery to explode, which can lead to serious injuries. Please note the following In order to reduce the risk of the battery ex-ploding:
• All work on the vehicle battery and the electrical system can cause serious chemical burns, fire or electric shocks. Always read the warnings and safety Information before carrying out any kind of work on the vehicle battery 362, Vehicle battery.
• Always wear suitable eye protection and never lean over the vehicle battery.
• Attach the connector cables In the correct order-the positive cable first, followed by the negative.
• Never connect the negative cable to parts of the fuel system or to the brake lines.
• The non-insulated parts of the battery clamps must not be allowed to touch. The jump lead attached to the positive vehicle battery terminal must not touch metal parts of the vehicle.
• Check the battery window using a torch If necessary. If the display Is light yellow or col-ourless, do not jump start the vehicle. Seek expert assistance.
