12 00... Notes/information on start assistance (jump starting): Preparation

Conform with the following when starting the engine with a jump starting cable.

• Ensure that the jump starting cable wires are of appropriate cross-section size.
• Only use fuse-protected jump starting cables.
• Check whether the current-supplying battery has 12 V voltage.
• If the engine is started from the battery of another vehicle, ensure that there is no contact between the bodies of both vehicles.
  IMPORTANT: Never touch electrically live ignition system components: high voltage - danger of injury!

If the battery in the vehicle supplying power is weak, start the engine of this vehicle and let it run at idling speed.
