5. Connect the other end of the black jump
l
ead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine bloc
k or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot
come int

o contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boosting b
attery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery
and wait for 2 or 3 minutes until
the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dipped beam he
adlights if they are
switched on.
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear window in the v
ehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11.When the engine is running, disconnect the lead
s in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start, switch off the start-
er after about 10 seconds and try again after
about a minute. WARNING
● Plea se not

e the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
›››  page 201, Working in the engine
compartment.
● The battery providing assistance must have
the same vo
ltage as the flat battery (12 V)
and approximately the same capacity (see imprint on battery). Failure to comply could
res
u

lt in an explosion.
● Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries i
s 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
away
from batteries, danger of explosion.
Failure to comply could result in an explo-
sion.
● Observe the instructions provided by the
manufactur
er of the jump leads.
● Do not connect the negative cable from the
other vehicl
e 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 vehicl
e to parts of the fuel system or to
the brake line.
● 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 ve-
hicle, this can cause a short circuit.
● Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot come int
o contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
● Do not lean on the batteries. This could re-
sult in c
hemical burns. » 53

before every trip: –
Make sur

signals are working properly.
– Check tyre pressure.
– Ensure that all windows provide a clear and
good view of

the surroundings.
– Ensure that all luggage is correctly secured

and your p
a

ssengers. When your concentra-
tion or driving safety is affected by any cir-
cumstance, you endanger yourself as well as
others on the road ››› , for this reason:
– Always pay attention to traffic and do not
get di s

tracted by passengers or telephone
calls.
– Never drive when your driving ability is im-
paired (e.g. b

y medication, alcohol, drugs).
– Observe traffic laws and speed limits.
– Always reduce your speed as appropriate
for ro a

d, traffic and weather conditions.
– When travelling long distances, take
breaks

regularly - at least every two hours.
– If possible, avoid driving when you are tired
or stres

sed. WARNING
When driving safety is impaired during a trip,
the risk of injur

y and accidents increases. Safety equipment

Safe driving
●
Alwa y
s keep your feet in the footwell when
the vehicle is moving; never rest them on the
dash panel, out the window or on the seat. An
incorrect sitting position exposes you to an
increased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas-
senger in event
s such as sudden braking ma-
noeuvres or an accident, never travel with the
backrest tilted far back! The airbag system
and seat belts can only provide optimal pro-
tection when the backrest is in an upright po-
sition and the front passenger is wearing his
or her seat belt properly. The further the seat
backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater
the risk of injury due to incorrect positioning
of the belt web or to the incorrect sitting po-
sition!
● Adjust the head restraint correctly in order
to achieve m
aximum protection. Correct sitting position for rear seat
p
a
ssen

gers To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a
s
ud
den br ak

ing manoeuvre or an accident,
passengers on the rear seat bench must con-
sider the following:
– Sit up straight.
– Adjust the head restraint to the correct po-
sition ›››

page 60. –
Alway
s keep both feet in the footwell in
front of the rear seat.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››› p
age 61.
– Use an appropriate child restraint system
when you tak

e children in the vehicle
››› page 72. WARNING
● If the pa s

sengers in the rear seats are not
sitting properly, they could sustain severe in-
juries.
● Adjust the head restraint correctly in order
to achieve m
aximum protection.
● Seat belts can only provide optimal protec-
tion when seat bac
krests are in an upright
position and the vehicle occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts correctly. If passengers In
the rear seats are not sitting in an upright po-
sition, the risk of injury due to incorrect posi-
tioning of the seat belt increases. Examples of incorrect sitting posi-
tion
s Seat belts can provide optimal protection on-
ly
when the belt
we

bs are properly posi-
tioned. Incorrect sitting positions substan-
tially reduce the protective function of seat
belts and increase the risk of injury due to in-
correct seat belt position. As the driver, you
are responsible for all passengers, especially
children. –
Never allow an
yone to assume an incorrect
sitting position in the vehicle while travel-
ling ››› .
The f o
llo

wing list contains examples of sit-
ting positions that could be dangerous for all
vehicle occupants. The list is not complete,
but we would like to make you aware of this
issue.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is in motion:
● Never stand in the vehicle.
● Never stand on the seats.
● Never kneel on the seats.
● Never tilt your seat backrest far to the rear.
● Never lean against the dash panel.
● Never lie on the rear bench.
● Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
● Never sit sideways.
● Never lean out of a window.
● Never put your feet out of a window.
● Never put your feet on the dash panel.
● Never put your feet on the surface of a seat.
● Do not allow anyone to travel in the foot-
well.
● Nev

er travel without wearing the seat belt.
● Do not allow anyone to travel in the lug-
