Jump-startingIf the engine does not start because the
battery is discharged, it is possible to use
jump-start cables to start the car with the
battery of another vehicle. Pay attention to
the following points in this case:
Both batteries should have a rated volt-
age of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the bat-
tery supplying the power must not be sig-
nificantly less than the capacity of the dis-
charged battery.
Only jump-start cables with an ad-
equately large cross-section should be
used. Pay attention to the instructions of
the cable manufacturer.
We recommend purchasing the jump-
start cable as a Genuine Škoda Accessory
or in sales outlets of the battery manufac-
turer.
Use only jump-start cables with insulated
clamps. A discharged battery may already freeze
if there is only slight frost. Before con-
necting the jump-start cables, it is es-
sential to thaw out a frozen battery oth-
erwise it might explode.
Run the engine of the vehicle supplying
the current.
It is essential to connect the jump-start
cables in the following sequence:
1. One end of the ( +) cable (usually red) to
the ( +) terminal of the discharged battery.
2. Other end of the red ( +) cable to the ( +)
terminal of the battery supplying the cur-
rent.
3. One end of the ( -) cable (usually black)
to the ( -) terminal of the battery supplying
the current.
4. Other end of the black ( -) cable to a solid
metal part bolted to engine block or to the
engine block itself.
