Proceed as follows:
❒ Connect positive terminals (+) of the
two batteries with a jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal–of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing pointEon the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be started;

which could come out of the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
car, avoid metal parts touching acciden-
tally between this car and the one with the
flat battery. JUMP STARTING fig. 1

Never use a battery charger
to start the engine as this
could damage the electronic
systems of your car, particu-
larly the ignition and fuel supply con-
trol units.
The starting procedure must
be carried out by qualified
personnel because incorrect opera-
tions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. The liquid con-
tained in the battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and light-
ed cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.
