Jump start
Introduction
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged 12-volt battery, the battery can be
connected to the battery of another vehicle to
start the engine.
Jump leads complying with the
DIN 72553
standard are needed for starting (see cable
manufacturer's instructions). The wire cross
section must be at least 25 mm
2
for petrol en-
gines and at least 35 mm
2
for diesel engines.
NOTICE
To avoid considerable damage to the vehicle
electrical system, take careful note of the
following:
●
If the jump leads are connected incor-
rectly, a short circuit may occur.
●
Use only jump leads with fully insulated
clamps.
●
Do not allow the vehicles to come into con-
tact with each other, otherwise current may
start to flow as soon as the positive poles are
connected.

The discharged battery must be properly con-
nected to the on-board network.

metal contact when connecting them to the
poles.
