246 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is dead, the engine can be started with
jumper cables from another vehicle’s battery.
WARNING!
After changing a wheel, you must, for safety reasons,
• have the specified tightening torque checked. The
wheels could otherwise work loose.
• check the tire inflation pressure and correct it if
necessary.
• retighten the wheel bolts and wheel nuts to the
specified tightening torque once the vehicle has
been driven for 30 miles (50 km). If new or
repainted wheels are fitted, the wheel bolts or nuts
must be retightened again after about 600 to 3,000
miles (about 1,000 to 5,000 km).
• have a reversed direction of tire rotation corrected
as soon as possible at a qualified specialist
workshop. The vehicle handling characteristics
could otherwise be affected.
WARNING!
A battery will produce hydrogen gas, which is
flammable and very explosive. Avoid open flames
and the formation of sparks in the vicinity of the
batteries. Refrain from smoking or cell phone use.
Avoid improper connection of jumper cables.
Observe safety precautions when handling
batteries.
Exercise care near moving engine components and
electrical cables.
Failure to follow these directions will cause
damage to the electronic components and can lead
to a battery explosion and severe injury or death.
