Make sure that the positive term inal of
th e connected battery does not come
into conta ct withvehicle parts. 0007
Never place me tal objects or tools on a

When connecting and disconnecting the
batter y,yo u must obse rveth e descri‐
bed order forth e battery clamps. 0007
When giving starting assis tance, al ways
make sure that you on lyconnect bat‐

WARNING Risk ofexplosion from a fro‐
zen battery
A dischar ged battery may freeze at temp era‐
tures slightly abo veor below freezing point.
During starting assis tance or battery charg‐
ing, bat tery gas may be released. 0007
Alw aysth aw a frozen bat tery out first
before charging it or per form ing start‐
ing assis tance. Breakdown assi

If
th e indicator/warning lamps in the instrument
clus ter do not light up at low temp eratures, it is
ve ry likely that the dischar ged battery has fro‐
zen. In this case you may neither jump-s tart the
ve hicle nor charge the batter y.
The service life of a battery that has been
th awe d may be dramatically shor tened. The
st arting characteristics may be impaired, espe‐
cially at low temp eratures.
It is recommended that you ha veathaw ed bat‐
te ry checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
