11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the connections between cable
and car during the starting attempt. There is a
risk of sparks forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
Make sure that none of the black jump lead's
clamps comes into contact with the car's
positive jump-starting point/donor battery's
positive terminal or the clamp connected to
the red jump lead.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen
gas, which is highly explosive. A spark can
be formed if a jump lead is connected
incorrectly, and this can be enough for
the battery to explode.
•
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns.
•
If sulphuric acid comes into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing, flush with large
quantities of water. If acid splashes into
the eyes - seek medical attention imme-
diately.

Gearbox
The gearbox is part of the car's driveline (power
transmission) between engine and drive wheels.
The function of the gearbox is to change the
gear ratio depending on speed and power
requirements.
There are two main types of gearbox, manual and
automatic.
The manual gearbox has six gears. The automatic
gearbox can have either eight gears or six gears
depending on which engine the car is equipped
with. The number of gear changes means that
the engine's torque and power range can be
used effectively.
It is also possible to select gears manually with
the automatic gearbox. The driver display respec-
tively shows which gear or gear position is cur-
rently in use.
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to any drive system com-
ponents, the working temperature of the
gearbox is checked. If there is a risk of over-
heating, a warning symbol illuminates in the
driver display and a text message is shown -
follow the recommendation given.
Symbols in the driver display
If a fault should occur in the gearbox, the driver
display shows a symbol and a message.
