parent housing due to the melted metal
strip → Fig. 165 .

— If applicable, take the plastic grippers out
of the fuse box or the cover of the respec-
tive fuse box →

Introduction to the topic
For technical reasons, your vehicle may not
be push-started → page 301.
If the vehicle’s drive system cannot be activa-
ted because the 12-volt vehicle battery is dis-
charged, you can use the 12-volt vehicle bat-
tery in another vehicle to activate the vehi-
cle’s drive system.
Suitable jump leads are needed for jump
starting.
Cable cross-section for the jump leads:

.
WARNING
Using the jump leads incorrectly or com-
pleting the jump start procedure incorrectly
can cause the 12-volt vehicle battery to ex-
plode, which can lead to severe injuries.
Please note the following in order to re-
duce the risk of the 12-volt vehicle battery
exploding:
·
All work on the 12-volt vehicle battery
and the electrical system can cause seri-
ous chemical burns, fire or electric
shocks. Always read the warnings and
safety information before carrying out
any kind of work on the 12-volt vehicle
