Emergencies
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine.
Jump leads must comply with standard DIN
72553 (see cable manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at
least 25 mm2 for petrol engines and at least
35 mm2 for diesel engines.
Note
The vehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected.
The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the on-board network.
Jump start: description
Fig. 42 Diagram of connections for vehicles with
Start-Stop system.

.
Connect one end of the red jump lead
to the positive + terminal of the vehicle
with the flat battery A.
Connect the other end of the red jump
lead to the positive terminal + in the
vehicle providing assistance B.
Connect one end of the black jump lead
C to a suitable ground terminal, to a
solid piece of metal in the engine block,
or to the engine block itself.
Connect the other end of the black
jump lead D to a solid metal compo-
nent bolted to the engine block or to
the engine block itself of the vehicle

Removing the jump leads
Before you remove the jump leads,
switch off the dipped beam headlights if
they are switched on.
Turn on the heater blower and heated
rear window in the vehicle with the flat
battery. This helps minimise voltage
peaks which are generated when the
leads are disconnected.
When the engine is running, disconnect
the leads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery ter-
minals.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again af-
ter about 1 minute.
WARNING
Please note the safety warnings referring
to working in the engine compartment
page 289.
The battery providing assistance must
have the same voltage as the flat battery
(12V) and approximately the same capacity
(see imprint on battery). Failure to comply
could result in an explosion.
Never use jump leads when one of the
batteries is frozen. Danger of explosion!
Even after the battery has thawed, battery
