Practical information
Starting using another
battery
)Remove the plastic cover from the (+)
terminal, if your vehicle has one. )Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B. )Connect one end of the green or blackcable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B(or ear th point on the other
vehicle). )Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the ear th point Con the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting). )Star t the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a fewminutes.
First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacityat least equal to that of the discharged battery. Do not try to star t the engine by connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running. When
your vehicle's battery is discharged, theengine can be star ted using a slave battery(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables.
) Operate the star ter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run
If the engine does not star t straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again. ) Wait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
r
everse order.
) Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
Do not disconnect the cables tooquickly; leave them connected for a fewminutes (until the engine returns to idle) other wise there is a risk that the battery would be under-charged, with the need then to repeat the operation.
Starting the vehicle when the battery is flat must be done with the electronickey inside the vehicle, the driver's door closed and the driver's seat belt buckled.
