The essentials
on battery). Failure to comply could result in
an e
xp
losion.
● Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
terie
s is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even af-
ter the battery has thawed, battery acid could
leak and cause chemical burns. If a battery
freezes, it should be replaced.
● Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes
aw
ay from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manuf
acturer of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other v
ehicle directly to the negative terminal
of the flat battery. The gas emitted from the
battery could be ignited by sparks. Danger of
explosion.
● Do not attach the negative cable from the
other v
ehicle to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● The non-insulated parts of the battery
cl

amps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive battery
terminal must not touch metal parts of the ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot
come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
su
lt in chemical burns. Note
The vehicles must not touch each other, oth-
er w

ise electricity could flow as soon as the
positive terminals are connected. Changing the wiper blades

Emergencies
they should be changed if they are damaged,
or c l
eaned if they are dirty ››› .
Dam ag
ed wiper blades should be replaced
immediately. These are available from quali-
fied workshops. WARNING
Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility
and inc r

ease the risk of accident and serious
injury.
● Always replace damaged or worn blades or
bl

ades which do not clean the windscreen
correctly. CAUTION
● Dam ag

ed or dirty windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
● If products containing solvents, rough
spon
ges or sharp objects are used to clean
the blades, the graphite layer will be dam-
aged.
● Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or simi
lar products to clean the win-
dows.
● In icy conditions, always check that the
wiper b
lades are not frozen to the glass be-
fore using the wipers. In cold weather, it may
help to leave the vehicle parked with the wip-
ers in service position ›››
 page 60. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage to the bonnet and the
wiper arms, only leave them in the service
position.
● Before driving, always lower the wiper
arms. Tow-starting and towing
Intr oduction Tow-starting me
an

s starting the engine of
the vehicle while another pulls it.
Towing means one vehicle pulling another
that is not roadworthy.
Always consider the legal provisions relating
to tow-starting and towing.
For technical reasons, towing a vehicle with a
discharged battery is not allowed. The jump
start should be used instead ›››
 page 58.
If the vehicle comes with the Keyless Access
system, towing is only allowed with the igni-
tion on!
The vehicle battery drains if the vehicle is
towed with the engine switched off and the
ignition connected. Depending on the battery
charge status, the drop in voltage may be so
large, even after just a few minutes, that no
electrical device in the vehicle may work e.g. the hazard warning lights. In vehicles with
the Keyl

ess Access system, the steering
wheel could lock ››› .
WARNING
A vehicle with no power should never be tow-
ed.
● During towing, never switch off the ignition
w ith the s

tarter button. Otherwise, the elec-
tronic lock of the steering column could sud-
denly get blocked and it would be impossible
to steer the vehicle. This could cause an acci-
dent, serious injury and loss of control of the
vehicle.
● If during towing the vehicle runs out of
pow
er, stop towing immediately and request
the assistance of specialist personnel. WARNING
Vehicle handling and braking capacity
c h

ange considerably during towing. Please
observe the following instructions to mini-
mise the risk of serious accidents and injury:
● As the driver of the vehicle being towed:
– You shou

ld depress the brake much hard-
er as the brake servo does not operate.
Pay the utmost attention to avoid crash-
ing into the towing vehicle.
– More strength is required at the steering
wheel as the power steering does not op-
erate when the engine is switched off.
● As the driver of the towing vehicle: 86

Fuses and bulbs
●
Nev er u
se a fuse with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or simi
lar. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fu

se, you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent
the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system. Note
● One c omponent

may have more than one
fuse.
● Several components may run on a single
fu

se. Vehicle fuses
