Jump starting
Jump starting
If the starter battery is discharged, the
engine can be started with jumper cables
and the battery of another vehicle. Ob-
serve the following:
Jump starting should only be per-
formed when the engine and catalyt-
ic converter are cold.
Do not start the engine if the battery
is frozen. Let the battery thaw out
first.
Only jump start from batteries with
the same voltage rating (12 V). Jump
starting with a more powerful bat-
tery could damage the vehicle‘s elec-
trical system, which will not be
covered by the Maybach Limited
Warranty.
Use only jumper cables with sufficient
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
Always make sure the jumper cables
are not on or near pulleys, fans or
other parts that move when an en-
gine is started or running.
Warning! G
Failure to follow these directions will cause
damage to the electronic components, and
can lead to a battery explosion and severe
injury or death.
Never lean over batteries while connecting
or jump starting, you might get injured.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does, im-
mediately flush affected area with water,
and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and very explosive.
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper ca-
bles, smoking, etc.
Attempting to jump start a frozen battery
can result in it exploding, causing personal
injury.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
!
Jump starting should only be per-
formed on the starter battery in-
stalled in the engine compartment.
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Do not attempt to start the engine
using a battery quick charge unit.
If engine does not run after several
unsuccessful starting attempts, have
it checked at the nearest authorized
Maybach Studio.
Excessive unburned fuel generated
by repeated failed starting attempts
may damage the catalytic converter
and may present a fire risk.
Make sure the jumper cables do not
have loose or missing insulation.
Make sure the cable clamps do not
touch any other metal part while the
other end is still attached to a bat-
tery.
