284 Emergency situations
Emergency situations
General
This chapter is intended for trained emer
gency crews and working personnel who
have the necessary tools and equipment to
perform these ope rations.
Starting by pushing or
towing
Q;) Note
Vehicles with an automati c transmission
cannot be started by pushing or towing .
Starting with jumper
cables
If necessary, the engine can be started by
connecting it to the battery of another vehi
cle.
If the engine should fail to start because of a
discharged or weak battery, the battery can be
connected to the battery of
another veh icle,
using a
pair of jumper cables to start the en
g ine .
Jumper cables
Use only jumper cables of sufficiently large
cross section to carry the starter current safe
ly. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
Use only jumper cables with
insulated termi
na l clamps which are distinctly marked:
plus(+) cable in most cases colored red
minu s(-) cable
in most cases colored black .
A WARNING
Batteries contain electricity, ac id, and gas .
Any of these can cause very serious or fatal
inju ry. Follow the instructions below for
safe handling of your veh icle's battery.
- Always shield you r eyes and avoid lean
ing over the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged battery can freeze at tem
peratures just be low 32 °F (0 °C). Before connecting a
jumper cable, you must
thaw the frozen battery complete ly, oth
erwise it could explode.
- 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 gas
es. Keep sparks, flame and lighted ciga
rettes away from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a low ac id level in the battery.
- The vo ltage 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 bat
tery . Use of batteries of d ifferent voltage
or substantially different "Ah" rating
may cause an exp losion and personal in
jury.
- Never charge a frozen batte ry. Gas trap
ped 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) rat
ing may cause an exp losion and injury.
The capacity (Ah) of the booster battery
should not be lower than that of the dis
charged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed a ll
WARNINGS ¢
page 226, Engine com
partment.
«I) Note
-Applying a higher voltage booster bat
tery will cause expensive damage to sen
sitive electronic components, such as
contro l units, relays, rad io, etc .
- There must be no electrical contact be
tween the vehicles as otherwise current
could already start to flow as soon as the
positive(+) terminals are connected. ..,_

@ Tips
-The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical sys
tem. When jump start ing or charging the
battery, never connect the negative
ground cable to the battery negative
post because the battery manager sys
tem must be able to detect the battery's
state of cha rge . A lways connect the neg
ative g round cab le to the negative
gro und post o f the battery manage r con
trol uni t.
Use of jumper cables
Make sure to connect the jumper cobl e
clomps in exactly the order describ ed b elow!

Fi g. 22 8 Jump s tart in g w ith t he ba ttery of a not her ve
hi cle :@ booster battery, @ disc harged vehicle bat tery
The procedure described below for connecting
jumper cables is intended to provide a jump
start for your veh icle .
Hybr id drive*: read the important information
concerning a dead high voltage bat te ry under
c::;, page 105 .
Emergenc y situ ation s 285
Vehicle with discharged b attery:
.,. Turn off lights and accessor ies, move lever
o f automatic transmiss ion to N (Neutra l) or
P (Pa rk) and set parking brake.
Connect POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+ )
(r ed)
.,. Remove the cover(!) by pressing on the ar
row
¢ fig. 227.
.,. Open the cover @on th e positive terminal.
1. Connect one end of the red pos it ive cable
on the
jump start bolt c::;, fig. 228 (D
(Bolts under cover= "po sit ive") of the ve
hicle to be started @.
2. Connect the othe r end to the pos itive ter-
mi na l@ of the booster battery @.
Connect NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE (- )
(black )
3. Connect one end of the black negative ca
ble to the negative termi na l@ of the
booster battery @.
4 . Co nnect the othe r end o f the black nega
tive cab le to the
jump sta rt b olt © (Bolts
with hex head = "negative") of the vehicle
to be started @.
Starting the engine
.,. Start the engine of the veh icle w ith the
booster ba tte ry @ . Ru n the engine at a
moderate speed .
.,. Start eng ine wit h discha rged vehicle battery
@ in the usual manner .
.,. If the eng ine fails to start: do not keep the
starter crank ing for longer than 10 seconds.
Wait for about 30 seconds and then try
aga in .
.,. With engine running, remove jumper cab les
from both vehicles in the e xact
reverse o r
de r .
.,. Close the cover @on the pos itive termina l
and re -install the cover
(D c::;, fig . 22 7.
T he battery is vented to the outside to preven t
gases from en ter ing the veh icle in ter io r. Ma ke
su re that the jumper clamps are well connect
ed with their
metal parts in full contact with
the battery te rm inals.

28 6 Em ergency sit uat ions
_& WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and dam
age to the vehicle, heed all warnings and
instructions of the jumper cable manufac
turer. If in doubt, call for road serv ice.
- Jumper cables must be long enough so
that the vehicles do not touch.
- When connecting jumper cables, make
surethattheycannotgetca ughtinany
moving parts in the eng ine compart
ment.
- Do not bend over the batteries -danger
of chemical burns!
- The battery cell locking screws must be
t ightened securely.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed all
WARNINGS
c:> page 226, Engine com
partment .
Improper hook-up of jumper cables can ru
in the generator.
- Always connect POSITIVE( +) to POS I
TIVE(+), and NEGATIVE( -) to NEGATIVE
(-) ground post of the battery manager
control unit.
- Check that a ll screw plugs on the battery
cells are screwed in firmly . If not, tighten
plugs prior to connecting clamp on nega
tive battery terminal.
- Please note that the procedure for con
nect ing a jumper cable as described
above applies spec ifically to the case of
your vehicle being jump started. When
you are giving a jump start to anothe r ve
hicle, do
not connect the negat ive (-) ca
ble to the negat ive (-) term inal on the
discharged bat tery ©
c:> fig. 2 28. In
stead, securely connect the negative(-)
cable to e ithe r a solid metal component
that is firm ly bolted to the engine block
or to the engine block itse lf. If the bat
tery that is being charged does not vent
to the outside, escaping battery gas
could ignite and exp lode!
