BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM
(BMS)
If excessive battery discharge is occurring
when the engine isn't running, the system will
shut down non-essential el ectrical systems to
protect battery power.
CONNECTING BOOSTER CABLES
Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
Make sure both batteries are of the 12
volt type and that the booster cables
have insulated clamps and are
approved for use with 12 volt
batteries.
Do not disconnect the discharged
battery.
Do not connect a booster cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Always connect to the recommended
earthing point.
Ensure the bodywork of the donor and
disabled vehicles do not touch.
If the vehicle is fitted with a dual
battery system, the larger of the two
batteries must be used when
connecting booster cables.
Note: Before connecting booster cables,
ensure that the battery connections on the
disabled vehicle are correct and that all
electrical equipment has been switched off.
1. Connect the positive booster cable to the
positive terminal on the donor vehicle's
battery.
2. Connect the other e nd of the positive
booster cable to the positive terminal on
the disabled vehicle's battery. If the vehicle is fitted with a dual
battery system, t
he larger of the
two batteries must be used when
connecting booster cables.
3. Connect the negative booster cable to the
recommended jump starting earth point of
the donor vehicle.
4. Connect the other e nd of the negative
booster cable to a suitable earth point on
the disabled vehicle. The earth point should
be at least 0.5 metres (20 inches) away
from the battery and as far as possible
from any fuel or brake pipes.
• Check that all cables are clear of any
moving components and that all four
connections are secure.
5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle, and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.
8. Switch off the donor vehicle.
DISCONNECTING THE BOOSTER
CABLES
To avoid serious injury use extreme
caution when removing the booster
cables as the engine will be running
on the previously disabled vehicle.
This means that you may be working
close to components which are
moving at high speed, carry high
voltage, or may be hot.
Note: Do not switch on any electrical
equipment until after th e cables have been
disconnected.
The engine should be running on the
previously disabled ve hicle and the engine
switched off on the donor vehicle. Disconnect
the booster cables in the exact reverse order of
that used for connection.
