Jump-starting
ä Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Jump-starting 166
Jump-starting in vehicles with the START-STOP system 167
The battery of another vehicle can be used to jump-start your vehicle if the en-
gine will not start because the battery is flat. Jump-start cables are required for
this purpose.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the battery
supplying the power must not be significantly less than the capacity of the dis-
charged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section and in-
sulated terminal clamps. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Positive cable - colour coding in the majority of cases is red.
Negative cable - colour coding in the majority of cases is black.
WARNING
A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just below
0 °C. In case of frozen battery carry out no jump-starting - risk of explosion!
Pay attention to the warning instructions relating to working in the engine
compartment »
page 139, Engine compartment.
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never make contact
with each other. In addition, the jump-start cable connected to the positive
terminal of the battery must not come into contact with electrically conduct-
ing parts of the vehicle - risk of short circuit!
Do not clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping out the battery
being ignited by the strong spark which results from the engine being started.
Route the jump-start cables so that they cannot be caught by any rotating
parts in the engine compartment.
Do not bend over the battery - risk of caustic burns!
The vent screws of the battery cells must be tightened firmly.
WARNING (Continued)
Keep any sources of ignition (naked flame, smouldering cigarettes, etc.)
away from the battery - risk of an explosion!
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an electrolyte level that is too low -
risk of explosion and caustic burns.
Note
There must not be any contact between the two vehicles otherwise current
may flow as soon as the negative terminals are connected.
The discharged battery must be properly connected to the system of the vehi-
cle.
We recommend you buy jump-start cables from a car battery specialist.
