BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle’s
battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (with a
large cross section) from a
RENAULT Dealer or, if you already
have jump leads, ensure that they
are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical voltage: 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah)
which is at least the same as that of
the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting when the
positive terminals are connected)
and that the discharged battery is
properly connected. Switch off your
vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
an intermediate engine speed. Check that there is no contact
between cables
Aand Band that
cable A(+) is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it is running,
disconnect cables A and B in the
inverse order (4-3-2-1).
Secure the positive cable (+) Ato the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged
battery, then to the (+) terminal2 of
the battery supplying the current.
Attach negative cable (–) B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying
the current and then to (–) terminal4
of the discharged battery.
