Safety notes
DANGER
Touching live components can result in an
electric shock. There is a risk of injury or even
death. Do not touch any components that
could be live.
WARNING
Connecting the jump leads in the wrong se‐
quence can cause sparks. There is a risk of in‐
jury. Please comply with the correct sequence
when connecting.
NOTE
Contact between the bodywork of the two ve‐
hicles can result in a short circuit during starting
aid. There is a risk of material damage. Make
sure there is no contact between the body‐
work.
Preparations
1.
Check whether the battery in the other vehi‐
cle shows 12 volts. Information about the
voltage is provided on the battery.
2. Switch off the engine of the other vehicle.
3. Switch off any power consumers in both ve‐
hicles.
Jump-starting connections
The jump-starting connection in the engine
compartment serves as the positive battery ter‐
minal.
A special connection on the body serves as the
negative battery terminal in the engine compart‐
ment.
For further information:
Overview of the engine compartment, see

Open the cover of the jump-starting connec‐
tion.
2. Connect a terminal clamp on the positive/+
jump lead to the positive terminal of the bat‐

nection on the other vehicle.
3. Connect the second terminal clamp to the
battery's positive terminal or to the corre‐
sponding jump-starting connection on the
vehicle being started.
4. Connect a terminal clamp on the negative/–
jump lead to the negative terminal of the bat‐
tery or the corresponding engine or body
earth connection on the other vehicle.
5. Connect the second terminal clamp to the
negative terminal of the battery or to a corre‐
sponding engine or body earth connection on
the vehicle being started.
Establishing drive-ready state
1.
Start the engine of the other vehicle and al‐
low it to run for a few minutes at a slightly
higher idle speed.
2. Establish drive-ready state in the normal way
in the vehicle to be started.
If an initial attempt to start the engine fails,
