WARNING Risk of explosion due to a mix-
ture of explosive gases
A mixture of explosive gases can escape from
the battery during charging and jump starting.

Fire, open flames, smoking and creating
sparks must be avoided.

Make sure that there is sufficient ventila-

WARNING Risk of explosion from a frozen
battery
A discharged battery may freeze at tempera-
tures slightly above or below freezing point.
During starting assistance or battery charging,
battery gas can be released.
#
Always allow a battery to thaw before
charging it or performing starting assis-
tance.
If the indicator/warning lamps on the instrument
cluster do not light up at low temperatures, it is
very likely that the discharged battery has frozen.
In this case, you may neither jump-start the vehi-
cle nor charge the battery.
The service life of a battery that has been thawed
may be dramatically shortened. The starting char-
acteristics may be impaired, especially at low
temperatures.
It is recommended that you have a thawed battery
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Plug-in hybrid
If your vehicle has been started with starting

tric drive system for approximately 30 minutes.
Starting assistance is not considered to be a nor-
mal operating condition.
