Introduction
WARNING
The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » page 198.
When handling the vehicle battery, the following warnings must be ob-
served » page 203.
A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just be-
low 0 °C. If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the bat-
tery of another vehicle – risk of explosion and injury!
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an electrolyte level that is too low
– risk of explosion and caustic burns.
Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicle
Fig. 251 Jump-starting: - discharged battery, - power-supplying
battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe on page 217 first.
If, because of a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. To do this, jump-
start cables are required which have a sufficiently large cross-section and insu-
lated terminal clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the
power-supplying battery must not be significantly lower than the capacity of
the discharged battery.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the power-supplying battery.
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the power-supplying battery.
For vehicles with the START-STOP system, attach clamp
4
to the ground
point of the engine
A
» Fig. 251.
For vehicles without the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to a solid
metal part firmly attached to the engine block or directly to the engine block.
Starting engine
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
Initiate the starting process in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
WARNING
Never clamp the jump cable to the negative terminal of the discharged
battery - risk of explosion.
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – there is a risk of short circuit!
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehi-
cle – there is a risk of short circuit!
Position the jump cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts in
the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-
age.
