vehicle or from an external battery using jump
leads.
Observe the following points:

Jump-starting may only be performed when
the engine and catalytic converter are cold.
R
Do not start the engine if the battery has
frozen. Thaw the battery out first.
R
Jump-starting may only be performed from
batteries with a nominal voltage of 12V.
R
Only use jump leads which are protected
against polarity reversal and which have a
sufficient cross-section and insulated ter-
minal clamps.
i
Jump leads which are protected against
polarity reversal and further information
about jump-starting can be obtained from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
!
Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Never start the vehicle using a rapid battery
charger.
G Risk of injury
There is a risk of acid burns when jump-
starting a vehicle due to the gases which
escape from the battery. Do not lean over
the battery while the engine is being jump-
started.
G
Risk of explosion
Gases escaping from the battery during
jump-starting may cause minor explosions.
Avoid creating sparks. Keep naked flames
