tion of the wheel and hub mounting surfaces.
These surfaces must be clean before mounting
the wheel.
.&_ WARNING
Do not use the hexagonal socket in the screw­
driver handle to tighten the wheel bolts. It is
not possible to tighten the bolts to the re­
quired torque using the hexagonal socket -
risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
When removing/ fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc/ceramic*
brake disc. For this reason, please take care
and get a second person to assist you.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im­
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel

CX) ]ump-starting
Before starting the engine
If necessary, the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis­
charged battery, the vehicle battery can be con­
nected to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Suitable jump leads are required.
Both vehicle batteries must be rated at 12 Volts.
The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should
not be significantly lower than that of the dis­
charged battery.
Jump leads
The jump leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
Only use jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable -usually red.
Negative cable -usually black.
A WARNING
- When it is discharged the battery can freeze
at temperatures around 0°
(. A frozen bat­
tery must first be thawed out before con­
necting the jump leads -risk of explosion
and chemical burns! After jump-starting the
vehicle, drive to a qualified workshop with­
out delay and have the vehicle battery
checked.
- Note the safety warnings referring to work­
ing in the engine compartment ¢ page 244.
ij}) Note
- There must be no contact between the two
vehicles as otherwise current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals are connec­
ted. This would discharge the boosting bat­
tery.
- The discharged vehicle battery must be
properly connected to the vehicle's electri­
cal system. Mobility
- Switch off the car telephone if necessary.
Details will be given in the manufacturer's
instructions for the car telephone.
Starting the engine
The two jump Leads must be connected in the
correct sequence.

...
Connect one end of the black lead to the nega­
tive terminal @of the boosting battery@.
... Connect the other end of the black jump lead to
the negative terminal© of the jump-start con­
nection @ in your vehicle.
... Position
the jump leads in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting the engine
... Start
the engine of the vehicle with the boost­
ing battery and let it run at idling speed.
... Now start the engine of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
... If the engine fails to start: do not operate the
starter for longer than 10 seconds. Wait for
about 30 seconds and try again .
... Switch on the blower and the rear window heat­
ing on the vehicle which has been jump-started
in order to offset excessive voltage which may
occur when disconnecting the leads. The head­
lights must be switched off!
... When
the engines are running, disconnect the
leads in exactly the opposite sequence to that
described on ¢page 277, Connecting and dis­
connecting the jump Leads. Make sure that the
leads cannot come into contact with any mov­
ing parts in the engine compartment.
... Close the cap on the positive terminal.
... Switch off the blower and the rear window
heating again.
A WARNING
- The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the
vehicle: this can cause short circuits.
- Do not lean over batteries -risk of chemical
burns!
- The screw plugs on the battery cells must be
screwed in firmly.
- Keep sparks, flame and lit cigarettes away
from vehicle batteries: the gases given off
can cause an explosion.
- If jump-starting another vehicle, position
the jump leads in such a way that they can­
not come into contact with any moving
278 parts
in the engine compartment of the oth­
er vehicle .
CD CAUTION
Please note that the above method of con­
necting the leads is intended for jump-start­
ing your vehicle. If jump-starting another ve­
hicle, you should not connect the negative
Lead(-) to the negative terminal of the dis­
charged vehicle 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
- The vehicle battery is vented to the outside
to prevent gases entering the vehicle's inte­
rior.
- Connect the battery clamps so they have
good metal-to-metal contact with the bat­
tery terminals.
Tow-starting / towing
away
General notes
Some experience is required to tow or tow-start a
vehicle, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique re­
quired for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow-start or tow away another ve­
hicle.
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and
take care to avoid jerking the tow-rope. When
towing off-road, there is always a risk that the
anchorage points may be overloaded.
Tow-bar I tow-rope
It is easier and safer to tow the vehicle with a
tow-bar. You should only use a tow-rope if you do
not have a tow-bar. It is advisable to use a tow­
rope made of elastic synthetic fibre or similarly
elastic material.
