A WARNING
Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as Light
rain,
Low sun or when driving at night
these coatings can cause increased dazzle,
which is a serious safety hazard. Such coat­
ings can also cause the wiper blades to
jud­

der.

Mobility
7. Connect one end of the black lead preferably
to the earth point or alternatively to the
neg­

ative battery terminal © on the vehicle pro­
viding assistance®.
8. Connect the other end of the
black
jump lead
only to the earth point © of the jump-start
connection on your vehicle ©
<=>(£).

9. Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any mov­
ing parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine

10.
Start the engine of the vehicle with the
boosting battery and let it run at idling

speed.

11.
Start the engine of the
car
with the dis­
charged battery and wait two or three mi­
nutes until the engine is running smoothly.

12.
If the engine fails to start: do not operate the
starter for longer than 10 seconds. Wait for
about 30 seconds and try again.

13.
Switch on the blower and the rear window
heating on the vehicle which has been jump-
started in order to offset excessive voltage
which may occur when disconnecting the

leads.
The headlights must be switched off!

14.
Disconnect the leads in exactly the opposite
sequence to that described in
*page
327
with the engines running. Make sure that the
Leads cannot come into contact with any
moving parts in the engine compartment.

15.
Fold the cover back onto the battery in its
correct position.

16.
Switch off the blower and the rear window
heating again.
PLease refer to

on page 326 and
•=>©
in Before starting the en­
gine on page 327.
© CAUTION
Do not use the negative battery terminal
when jump-starting (this could cause a
mal­

function in the on-board electrical system).
- Connect the battery clamps so they have
good metal-to-metal contact with the bat­
tery terminals.
- The vehicle battery is vented to the outside
to prevent gases entering the vehicle's inte­
rior.

Tow-
start
ing / towing
away
General notes
Some experience is required to tow or tow-start a
vehicle, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique re­
quired for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow-start or tow away another ve­

hicle.

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and
take care to avoid jerking the tow-rope. When
towing off-road, there is aLways a risk that the
anchorage points may be overloaded.
Tow-bar / tow-rope
It is easier and safer to tow the vehicle with a
tow-bar. You should only use a tow-rope if you do
not have a tow-bar. It is advisable to use a tow-
rope made of elastic synthetic fibre or similarly
elastic material.
Notes on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow-

rope.
When the engine is not running, the
gear­

box will not be adequately lubricated if the
fol­

lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob­

served:

- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
50 km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
50 km. •

- Make sure that the covers are correctly seat­
ed on the headlights and the rear lights.
This will ensure that water cannot enter the
housings and cause the lights to malfunc­

tion.

- Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare hands; use a cloth or paper towel

instead.
Otherwise, the fingerprints left on
the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat
generated by the bulb, be deposited on the
reflector and impair its surface.
© CAUTION
When removing or installing the rear light,
take care not to cause any damage.
- Removing the rear light in particular can
lead to the paintwork or rear light becoming

damaged.
This is another reason why we
recommend having the bulbs changed by a
qualified workshop.
- Never use metal tools (e.g. a screwdriver) or
sharp or pointed plastic tools to lever out
the rear light - risk of damaging the paint.
- Make sure you have a soft cloth ready to
place under the glass on the rear light, to
avoid any scratches.
® For the sake of the environment
A qualified workshop can advise you how to
dispose of used bulbs in the proper manner.
© Note
- Please check at regular intervals that
alL

lighting (especially the exterior Lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also in that of all other road users.
- Before changing a bulb, make sure you have
the correct new bulb.
