Jump-starting
Before starting the engine
If
necessary,
the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of
a
dis­
charged battery, the vehicle battery can be
con­

nected to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Suitable jump leads are required.
Both vehicle batteries must be rated at 12 V. The
capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not
be significantly lower than that of the discharged
battery.
Jump leads
The jump Leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
Only
use
jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable - usually red.
Negative cable - usually black.
WARNING
- When it is discharged the vehicle battery
can freeze at temperatures around 0°C. A
frozen vehicle battery must first be thawed
out before connecting the jump leads - risk
of explosion and chemical burns! After
jump-starting the vehicle, drive to a quali­
fied workshop without delay and have the
vehicle battery checked.
- The engine compartment is a potentially
hazardous area and working here can lead
to serious injuries. Before carrying out any
work in the engine compartment please
read and observe the warnings
*page
295.
- Incorrect handling of the jump leads may
result in the vehicLe battery exploding (risk
of serious injury). Please observe the follow­
ing rules to minimise the risk of injury:
- The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive terminal
must not touch metal parts of the vehicle:
this can cause short circuiting.
- Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any
moving parts in the engine compartment.
- Do not lean over the vehicle battery - risk of
chemical burns!
- The screw plugs on the battery cells must be
screwed in firmly.

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
<=>
A in Before starting the engine
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. •
