Practical hints
Jump starting
! Do not tow-start the vehicle.
If the starter battery is discharged, the
engine can be started with jumper cables
and the battery of another vehicle. Ob-
serve the following:
앫 Jump starting should only be per-
formed when the engine and catalyt-
ic converter are cold.
앫 Do not start the engine if the battery
is frozen. Let the battery thaw out
first.
앫 Only jump start from batteries with
the same voltage rating (12 V). Jump
starting with a higher voltage battery
could damage the vehicle‘s electrical
system, which will not be covered by
the Maybach Limited Warranty.
앫 Use only jumper cables with sufficient
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
앫 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.
! Jump starting should only be performed
on the starter battery installed in the engine
compartment.
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting at-
tempts.
Do not attempt to start the engine using a
battery quick charge unit.
If engine does not run after several unsuccess-
ful starting attempts, have it checked at the
nearest authorized Maybach Studio.
Excessive unburned fuel generated by repeat-
ed 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 at-
tached to a battery.
