tery / ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe
on page 287 first.
If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start
cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the
current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the
discharged battery in your vehicle.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
›
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the current-giving battery.
›
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the current-giving battery.
›
For vehicles with the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp

to the ground
point of the engine
A
» Fig. 339 .
›
For vehicles without the START-STOP system, secure the clamp

to a solid
metal part that is firmly attached to the engine block or secure to the engine
block directly.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
WARNING■
Never clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery - danger of explosion.■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – risk of short circuit!
■
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle
– risk of short circuit!
■
Route the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts
in the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-
age.
