Starting the engine
10. First start the engine in the vehicle giving the
charge and let it run at idle.
11. Now start the engine in the vehicle with the
drained vehicle battery and wait two to three
minutes until it “runs smoothly”.
12. If the engine does not start, stop the starting
procedure after 10 seconds and then repeat
it after approximately 30 seconds.
13. In the vehicle that is being jump started,
switch the heater fan and rear window de-
froster on to reduce any voltage peaks that
may occur when disconnecting the jumper ca-
bles. The headlights must be switched off.
14. While the engines are running, remove the
cables in reverse order from the way they
were installed, as described in > page 365.
Make sure the cables do not get caught in
moving engine components.
15. Close the cap on the positive terminal.

froster off.
ZA\ WARNING
— Never connect the jump start cable directly
to your vehicle battery. Only use the connec-
tions in the engine compartment.
— Do not touch the non-insulated parts of the
terminal clamps. The cable must also not
come into contact with vehicle components
that conduct electricity when it is connected
to the positive vehicle battery terminal. This
can cause a short circuit.
— The plugs on the battery cells must not be
opened.
— Keep ignition sources (such as open flames,
burning cigarettes, etc.) away from the vehi-
cle batteries to reduce the risk of an explo-
sion.
— Route the jump start cables so they cannot
get caught in the moving parts in the other
vehicle's engine compartment.
@) Note
Please note that the connecting process previ-
ously described for the jump start cables is in-
tended for when your vehicle is being jump
started.
(i) Tips
Make sure that the connected jump start ca-
bles have sufficient contact with metal.

The following information is to be used by com-
mercial tow truck operators who know how to op-
erate their equipment safely.
