Tightening torque 10-20 Nm. Approved spark plugs refer to “Technical Data”. Jump Starting If the battery is flat the engine can be started with jumper cables (minimum lead cross section is 25 mm?) and the (12 V) battery of another vehicle. Proceed as follows: @ Turn key to steering lock posi- tion 0. © Run engine of jumper vehicle at high idle. @ First connect jumper cables to the positive battery terminals and then to the negative termi- nals. Start engine as normal. e@ After the engine has started, first remove jumper cables from the negative battery terminals and then from the positive termi- nals. Notes: A flat battery can freeze at approx. —10°C. In all cases it must be thawed out before jumper leads are used. Never lean over batteries while jump starting, you might get burnt. Only use jumper cables with insu- lated terminal clamps! Do not handle open flames in the vicinity of the battery, do not smoke and avoid the formation of sparks - danger of explosion. o1 Practical TipsTow-starting and Towing the Vehicle The rear towing eye is at the right under the bumper, the front towing eye is at the right behind a flap. Remove flap: Reach into recess of flap and pull off flap. To insert flap, engage lower end and press on upper end firmly. 92 Note: As long as the engine is not run- ning there is no servo assistance for the service brake and the power steering. Keep in mind that in such an instance substantially greater power must be exerted for braking and more effort is required for steering Tow-starting Only tow-start the vehicle with the battery connected and the key in ‘steering lock position 2. Vehicles with carburetor engine: Prior to tow-starting, briefly turn key to “starting position”. If the engine is cold, completely depress the accelerator once. Vehicles Equipped with Automatic Transmission Move selector lever to position Turn key in steering lock to position 2 and then have the vehicle tow- started, After attaining a road speed of 30 km/h (with cold transmission) or 50 km/h (with warm transmission), move selector lever to position “2” to start the engine. Only touch the accelerator when the engine is running. As soon as the engine has started, quickly return selector lever to “N’. If the engine fails to start after a few seconds, return the selector lever from “2” to “N”, otherwise the transmission may be damaged. For another starting attempt, stop the vehicle. Then tow again for some time with the selector lever in position “N” and repeat starting procedure. The same procedure may be used for starting the engine while rolling downhill.
