For the sake of the environment

Batteries contain toxic substances including
sulphuric acid and
lead.
PLease contact a
qualified workshop if
you
have any questions.
Battery
General warnings for batteries
Because of the complexity of the power supply,
any battery work, such as disconnection, replace­
ment, etc. must be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop
^A-

The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
Explanation of warnings on vehicle battery:

m

Wear safety glasses!
Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses.

A

Keep open flames, sparks, uncovered
Lights and lit cigarettes away from the
battery!
A highly explosive mixture of gases may

~\
be given off when the battery is under
charge!
Keep children away from batteries and
battery
acid.

A WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicLe entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of
acci­

dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.

CA UTION

If the car is left standing for long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze
^>page
303, Charging the vehicle
bat­

tery.

Vehicle battery

The
term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period
^>page
149. Certain convenience fea­

tures,
such as interior lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated auto­
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicLe is left standing for long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the
vehi­

cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal
chemicaL
reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month

^>page
303. PLease contact a qualified workshop
if
you
have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle bat­
tery checked by
a
qualified workshop before the
start of winter.

- Keep sparks, flame and lit cigarettes away
from vehicle batteries: the gases given off
can cause an explosion.
- Do not attach the negative cable to parts of
the fuel system or to the brake pipes.
© CAUTION
- The vehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected and
the boosting battery could be discharged.
- If the jump leads are not connected correct­
ly this can result in serious damage to the
electrical system of the vehicle.
- The discharged vehicle battery must be
properly connected to the vehicle's electri­
cal system.
- Please note that the method described
be­

low for connecting the leads is intended for
jump-starting your vehicle. If jump-starting
another vehicle, you should not connect the
negative lead (-) to the negative terminal of
the discharged battery, but directly to the
engine block or
a
solid metal part bolted to
the engine block. If the battery of the other
vehicle does not have a gas vent, there is a
risk that
a
mixture of oxygen and hydrogen
gas can accumulate and cause an explosion.
© Note
Switch off the car telephone if necessary. De­
tails will be given in the manufacturer's in­
structions for the car telephone.
Starting the engine

The two
jump leads must be connected in the
correct
sequence.
