- Keep sparks, flame and lit cigarettes away
from vehicle batteries: the gases given off
can cause an explosion.
- Do not attach the negative cable to parts of
the fuel system or to the brake pipes.
© CAUTION
- The vehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected and
the boosting battery could be discharged.
- If the jump leads are not connected correct­
ly this can result in serious damage to the
electrical system of the vehicle.
- The discharged vehicle battery must be
properly connected to the vehicle's electri­
cal system.
- Please note that the method described
be­

low for connecting the leads is intended for
jump-starting your vehicle. If jump-starting
another vehicle, you should not connect the
negative lead (-) to the negative terminal of
the discharged battery, but directly to the
engine block or
a
solid metal part bolted to
the engine block. If the battery of the other
vehicle does not have a gas vent, there is a
risk that
a
mixture of oxygen and hydrogen
gas can accumulate and cause an explosion.
© Note
Switch off the car telephone if necessary. De­
tails will be given in the manufacturer's in­
structions for the car telephone.
Starting the engine

The two
jump leads must be connected in the
correct
sequence.

Additional notes on towing by breakdown
truck
If one of the axles has to be raised in order to
tow the vehicLe, please refer to the following ta­
ble to determine the appropriate axle
for
your
gearbox/drive combination:
Manual
gearbox
Automatic
gearbox
Front-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Four-wheel
drive
Front or rear
axle
Front axle
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: If the
vehicle is to be towed with one of the axles

raised,
the ignition must be switched off; other­
wise the drive train can be damaged.
Notes on tow-starting
Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox: For
technical reasons, your vehicle must not be tow-

started.

Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: As a
general rule, tow-starting is not recommended.
If the engine will not start, it is best to try start­
ing it using the battery of another vehicle

*>page
326 before attempting to tow start. If
this is not possible, you can try to push-start or
tow-start the vehicle
*page
330, Tow-starting.
A WARNING
There is a high risk of accidents when towing/
tow-starting, as the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle.

UTION

- If it is not possible to tow the vehicle as de­
scribed above (e.g. due to a gearbox failure
or if the vehicle has to be towed further
than 50 km), it must be transported on a
special car transporter or trailer.
- Towing a vehicle with the wrong axle raised
can cause serious damage to the gearbox.
- Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
It is not possible to move the selector lever
out of position
P
if the electrical power sup­
ply fails. Before the vehicle can be recov­
ered/manoeuvred you must manually re­
lease the selector lever; left-hand drive
vehicles
*page
93, right-hand drive
vehicles
*page
94.
- Please observe the relevant regulations
when towing or tow-starting.
Towing away
Please observe the important safety warnings on

*
page 328.
Preparations
• Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the
towing anchorages provided
for
this purpose

opage
330,
*page
331.
• Please ensure that the tow-rope is not twisted
as it could otherwise unscrew the towline an­
chorage while the vehicle is being towed.
• The hazard warning lights of both vehicles
must normally be switched on
*page
52. How­
ever, observe any regulations to the contrary.
Towing vehicle (front)
• Ensure that the tow-rope is taut before you
drive off.
• Manual gearbox: Engage the clutch very gently
when starting to move and accelerate with par­
ticular care.
• Automatic gearbox: Accelerate slowly and
grad­

ually.
• Avoid unnecessary braking and manoeuvres.
Vehicle being towed (rear)
• Ensure that the ignition is switched on, the
steering wheel is not locked, and
that
you can
operate the turn signals, horn or windscreen
wipers if necessary
<=>/t\-

• The brake servo only works when the engine is

running.
The power steering only works when
329

Mobility
the ignition is on and the vehicle is moving1'.
Otherwise you will need to press the brake
ped­

al significantly harder and apply more force to
move the steering wheel.
• Please ensure that the steering wheel is un­
locked and that it moves freely.
• Release the parking brake
*page
82.
• Applies to vehicles with manual gearbox: Put
the gear lever in neutral.
• Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
Move the selector lever to position N.
• Ensure that the tow-rope remains taut at all
times when towing.
© CAUTION
A WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, do NOT
use a tow-bar or tow-rope to tow the vehicle
© Note
You can use the turn signals to indicate a
change of direction (or lane) even when the
hazard warning lights are on. The hazard
warning lights will be interrupted temporari-

Ly.

Tow-starting
Please observe the important safety warnings on

*page
328.
Important: Your vehicle must be fitted with a
manual gearbox. If your vehicle has a petrol en­

gine,
it must not be towed further than 50 me­
tres
*(J).

• Attach the tow-rope or the tow-bar only to the
towing anchorages provided
for
this purpose

*page
330,
*
page 331.
• Engage second or third gear before moving off.
• Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.
• Switch on the ignition.
• Once both vehicles are moving, release the

clutch.

• As soon as the engine starts, press the clutch
pedal and put the gear lever in neutral.
When tow-starting the vehicle, do not tow it
further than 50 metres; otherwise the cata­
lytic converter could be damaged.

General notes
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical
skill.

LED*
lights are maintenance-free and cannot be

changed.
For repairs, please contact a qualified
workshop.
If
you
decide to change bulbs in the engine com­
partment yourself, be aware of the safety risks
involved
*
A in Working on components in the
engine compartment on page 295.
WARNING
- Take particular care when working on com­
ponents in the engine compartment if the
engine is warm - risk of burns!
- Bulbs are sensitive to pressure. The glass
can break when you touch the bulb, causing
injury.
- When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure yourself on sharp edges, in particu­
lar on the headlight housing.
© CAUTION
-Always switch off the ignition before carry­
ing out any work on the electrical system -
danger of short circuiting!
- Switch off the Lights or parking lights before
you change a bulb.
- Take good care to avoid damaging any com­
ponents.
334

Fuses and bulbs
You must only replace a bulb with a bulb of the
same type. Information regarding e.g. the wat­
tage can be found on the glass or base of the

bulb.

The description for changing the bulb refers to
the Left rear light unit; the procedure for the
right rear Light unit is similar.
You can change the
