11Connecting/disconnecting the jumper cable.11
• When
doing so, make sure that the cable cannot contact rotating engine parts.
14. Turn the heater blower and the rear window heating off again.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent gases from entering
the vehicle interior.
Make sure that the jumper clamps are well connected with their
metal ports in full contact with the battery terminals .
& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed
all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If
in doubt, call for road service.
• Jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not
touch .
• When connecting jumper cables, make sure that they cannot
get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment.
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment, always
read and heed all WARNINGS =>

Lifting the vehicle
Important safety precautions
Be aware of the following hazards before lifting the vehicle with a
workshop hoist or floor jack:
• The vehicle should never be lifted or jacked up from underneath
the engine oil pan, the transmission housing, the front or rear axle
or the body side members. This could lead to serious damage.
• Use lifting equipment with padded contact surfaces to avoid
damage to the underbody or chassis frame.
• Alternatively, cover the contact surfaces on workshop hoist or
floor jack with rubber pads before lifting .
• Before driving over a workshop hoist, check that the vehicle
weight does not exceed the permissible lifting capacity of the hoist .
• Before driving over a workshop hoist, ensure that there is suffi ­
cient clearance between the hoist and low parts of the vehicle .
& WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury and vehicle damage:
• Always lift the vehicle only at the special workshop hoist and
floor jack lift points illustrated
=> fig. 202 and => fig. 203 .
• Failure to lift the vehicle at these points could cause the vehicle
to tilt or fall from a lift if there is a change in vehicle weight distri­
bution and balance. This might happen, for example, when heavy
components such as the engine block or transmission are
removed .
• When removing such heavy components, anchor vehicle to
hoist or add corresponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity . Otherwise , the vehicle might tilt or slip off the hoist,
causing serious personal injury. •
Lifting with workshop hoist and with floor
jack
The vehicle may only be lifted at the lifting points illus­
trated.
