If the battery is discharged, another veh icle can provide starting
assistance. For this you require a jumper cable. Both batteries must
h ave t he same vo ltage (V) and a s im ilar capacity (Ah).
Jumper cables
Use
only jumper cables of sufficiently large cross section to safely
car ry the starter current . Refer to the manufactu rer's specifications.
Use only j um per ca bles with
isolated term in al cl am ps and pr operly
marked for distinction :

T he wire cross section must be at least 0 .038 in
2 (25 mm2
) for gaso ­
l ine e ngines and a t lea st 0.054 in

below 32 °F (0 °C l. Never attempt to provide starting assistance on
a frozen or thawed out battery- Danger of explosion and chemical
burns! Replace a battery if it has been frozen.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or skin. Flush any
contacted area with water immediately .
• Improper use of a booster battery to start a vehicle may cause
an explosion .
• Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases . Keep sparks, flame
and lighted cigarettes away from batteries .
• Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a low acid level in the
battery .
• The voltage of the booster battery must also have a 12 -Volt
rating . The capacity (Ah ) of the booster battery should not be
lower than that of the discharged battery . Use of batteries of
different voltage or substantially different "Ah " rating may cause
an explosion and personal injury .
• Never charge a frozen battery . Gas trapped in the ice may cause
an explosion.
• Never charge or use a battery that has been frozen . The battery
case may have be weakened .
• Use of batter ies of different voltage or substantially different
capacity (Ah) rating may cau se an e xplosion and inju ry . The
c apacity (Ah ) of the booster battery should not be lower than that
