Introduction
Vehicle with discharged battery that is being jump-started.
Vehicle with vehicle battery that is supplying power and jump-starting the other vehicle.
Suitable earth connection. A solid metal part that is firmly bolted to the engine block, the
engine block itself or, where fitted, the screwed-in towing eye at the front ⇒ Tow-starting and
towing.
Using the jump leads incorrectly or completing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause
the battery to explode, which can lead to severe injuries. Please note the following in order to
reduce the risk of the battery exploding:
\f

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

For technical reasons, vehicles with an automated manual gearbox must not be tow started
unless it has been ascertained that the gearbox is in position N⇒ When a vehicle with an
automated manual gearbox has to be towed:.
Towing a vehicle when the engine is switched off and the ignition is switched on discharges the
vehicle battery. In some vehicles battery charge level, the drop in voltage can be large enough after
just a few minutes that electrical consumers in the vehicle will no longer function, e.g. the hazard
warning lights.
