Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emergency crew s and working
pe rsonnel who have the necessary tool s and equipment to perform
the se operation s. •
Starting by pushing or towing
0 Note
Veh icles with an automatic transmission cannot be started by
pushing or towing .•
Starting with jumper cables
J umper c able : Note the manufacturer 's information .
If the battery is discha rged, another ve hicle can p rovide sta rting
assistance. For this yo u require a jumper cab le. Bot h batter ies m ust
h ave the s ame vo lt a ge (V) and a sim ila r cap acity (Ah).
Jumper cables Use
only jumpe r cables o f sufficiently la rge cross section to safely
carry the starter current. Refer to the man ufact urer's spec ificat ions.
Use only j umpe r ca bles with
isola ted t ermin al cl am ps and pro p erl y
marked for distinct ion:
plu s(+) cable in most cases co lored red
minus( ·) cable i n most cases colo red black .
T he w ire cross sect ion must be at least 0.038 in
2 (25 mm2
) for gaso ­
line engines and a t least 0. 054 in
2 (3 5 mm2
) for diese l engines.
& WARNING
Batterie s contain el ectricity, acid, and gas . Any of the se can cause
very serious or fatal injury. Follow the inst ructions below for safe
handling of your vehicle 's battery.
• Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning over the battery
whenev er po ssible .
• A discharged battery can alre ady freeze at temperatures just
below 32 °F (0 °C) . Never attempt to provide starting assistance
on a frozen or thawed out battery- Danger of explosion and chem­
ical burns! Replace a battery if it has been frozen.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or skin. Flush any
contacted area with water immediately .
• Improper u se of a booste r battery to start a vehicle m ay cause
an explosion .
• Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases . Keep sparks, flame
and lighted cigarettes away from batteries .
• Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a low acid level in the
battery .
• The voltage of the booster battery mu st also have a 12 -Volt
rating. The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery . Use of batteries of
different voltage or substantially different "Ah" rating may cause
an explosion and personal injury.
• Never charge a frozen battery . Gas t rapped in the ice may cause
an explosion .
• Never charge or use a b attery that has been frozen. The battery
case may have be weakened.
• Use of batteries of different voltage or substantially different
capacity (Ah) rating may cause an explosion and injury. The
capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not be lower than that
of the di scharged battery .

& WARNING (co ntinued )
• Before you che ck anything in the engine compartment , alway s
r e ad and heed all WARNINGS =>
page 218, "Engi ne compart­
ment ".
0 Note
• App lying a higher vo ltage booster battery will cause expens ive
damage to sens itive e lec tro nic components, such as contro l units,
re lays, rad io, etc.
• Th ere must be no electrical contact between the veh icles as othe r­
wise current could a lready sta rt to flow as soon as the posit ive(+)
term inals are con nected.
• Improperly connecte d jumper cables can cause substantial
damage to the e lectr ica l system of the vehicle .
[I) Tips
• The discharged batte ry mu st be properly co nne cted to the
vehicle's elect rical system. •
General information of starting
assistance
Please observe that the procedure descr ibed below for connect ing
jumpe r cab les is intended to p rovide a ju mp s tart for your ve hicl e.
Make sure t hat the co nnected clamps have suff ic ient
metal contact.
Sta rt assistance differs for vehicles w ith a 4-cylinde r engine:
=> page 288, "Use of jumper cables"
Safety first
& WARNING
Improper handling of the jumper cables can lead to an explosion
of the battery and severe injurie s. To reduce the ri sk of injury, note
the following:
• The section s of the terminal clamps that are not insul ated
must not touch each other. In addition, the cable clamped to the
battery' s po sitive terminal must not come in contact with electri­
cally connected parts of the veh icle -danger of short circu it!
• Route the jumper cable so that it cannot catch in any rotating
parts in the engine compartment .
• Do not bend over the batteries -danger of chemical burns!
• The battery cell locking screws must be tightened securely.
• Keep ignition source s (open flame , burning cigarettes, etc.)
away from the batteries -danger of explosion!
• Do not clamp the minus cable to parts of the fuel system or the
brake lines.
0 Note
If you prov ide sta rt assistance for others with your vehi cle, you shou ld
not clamp the minus cable( -) to the negative te rm inal of the
discharged batte ry =>
page 288, fig. 19 7 © but to a solid metal part
sc rewed firm ly to the eng ine b lock, or to the e ng ine block itse lf . In
case of an inadequately venti lated battery o f the veh icle receiving
powe r, the re is a dange r of explosi on du e to detonat ing gas! •

page 286, => & in "General informa­
tion of starting assistance" on
page 287. Replace such a
battery!
2. Otherwise apply the hand brake and shift into idle gear if
your vehicle has manual transmission, and put the selector lever into P position if your vehicle has automatic
transmission.
3. For both vehicles switch off all consumers and the igni­ tion.
Connecting /disconnecting the jumper cable
4. Connect one end of the red jumper cable to the positive
terminal ©=> fig. 197 of the discharged battery@=>

in "General information of s tarting assista nce" on
page 287.
5. Connect the other end of the red jumper cable to the posi­
tive terminal @ of the booster battery @.
6. Connect one end of the black jumper cable, preferably at the ground point. Otherwise, connect it to the negative
terminal ® of the booster battery @.
7 . Connect the other end of the black jumper cable to the
ground point (bolt head ) 0 in your vehicle @.
8. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot catch in any
rotating parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
9. Start the engine of the vehicle providing assistance and
allow it to run at idle.

• Always co nnect POSITIV E(+) to POSI TIVE( +), a nd NEGATIVE( -)
to N EGATIVE{ -) termina l.
Safety first
• Check that all screw p lugs on the battery cells are screwed in
fir mly . If no t, tig hten plugs pr ior to connectin g clamp o n negative
battery term inal.
• P lease note that the pr ocedur e fo r connecting a jumper cable as
described above app lies specifically to the case of your vehicle being
jum p st ar te d . When you are giving a jump start to anot her vehi cle, do
not conn ect the m in u s (-) cable to t he minus( -) term inal on the
discharged battery ©=>

connect the mi nus( -) cable to either a massive metal component
that is f irm ly bo lte d to t he eng ine block or to the engine bloc k itse lf .
If the battery that i s bei ng charged does not ven t to t he ou tside,
escaping battery gas could ignite and explode! •
Emergency towing with
