The jump-starting connection point is in the

engine compartment.
If, at low temperatures, the indicator lamps/

warning lamps in the instrument cluster do

not light up, it is highly likely that the dis-

charged battery has frozen. In this case, you

may neither charge the battery nor jump-start

the vehicle. The service life of a thawed-out

battery may be shorter. The starting charac-

teristics can be impaired, particularly at low

temperatures. Have the thawed-out battery

checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Read the battery charger's operating instruc-

tions before charging the battery.
