•Switch off any mobile phone, pay attention to the instructions for use
of the mobile phone in such a situation.
•We recommend purchasing jump-start cables from a Škoda dealer as
a Škoda original accessory or from retailers who sell branded batteries.
Starting engine
It is important to connect the jump-start cables in the correct
order.
Connecting positive terminals
– Attach one end to the positive terminal ⇒fig. 159 of the
discharged battery .
– Attach the other end to the positive terminal of the battery supplying the power . Connecting negative terminal and engine block
– Attach one end to the negative terminal of the battery
supplying the power .
– Attach the other end to a solid metal part which is connected firmly to the engine block, or to the engine block
itself ⇒ .
Starting engine
– Start the engine of the vehicle providing current and run the engine at idling speed.
– Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
– Interrupt the attempt at starting an engine after 10 seconds if it does not start right away and wait for about 30 seconds
before repeating the attempt.
– Disconnect the cables on the engine in exactly the reverse
order they were connected up.WARNING
•The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never make
contact with each other. Furthermore, the cable connected to the
positive terminal of the battery must not come into contact with
electrically conducting parts of the vehicle - risk of a short circuit!
•Do not affix the jump starting cables to the negative terminal of
the discharged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping
out the battery being ignited by the strong spark which results from
the engine being started.
