Information on driving with repaired tyres
Read and observe on page 225 first.
The filling pressure of the repaired tyre is a 10-minute test drive.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or less
›
You cannot properly seal the tyre using the breakdown kit. Do not contin-
ue to drive! Seek help from a specialist garage.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or more
›
Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value » page 216.
›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre. The following guidelines must therefore be observed.
■
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
Jump-starting
Introduction
WARNING
■
The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » page 209.
■
When handling the vehicle battery, the following warnings must be ob-
served » page 213.
■
A discharged vehicle battery can freeze at temperatures just below 0 °C.
If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the battery of
another vehicle – risk of explosion and injury!
■
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an electrolyte level that is too low
– risk of explosion and caustic burns!
Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicle
Fig. 278 Jump-starting: - discharged battery, - power-supplying
battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe
on page 227 first.
If, because of a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. To do this, jump-
start cables are required which have a sufficiently large cross-section and insu-
lated terminal clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the
power-supplying battery must not be significantly lower than the capacity of
the discharged battery.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
›
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the power-supplying battery.
›
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the power-supplying battery.
›
For vehicles with the START-STOP system, attach clamp
4
to the ground
point of the engine
A
» Fig. 278.
›
For vehicles without the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to a solid
metal part firmly attached to the engine block or directly to the engine block.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Initiate the starting process in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Detach the jumper cables in the exact reverse order that they were attach-
ed.
