External Power Supply, Emergency
starting with jumper cables
If the battery is flat, the battery of another vehicle can be used for starting or as an external power supply with the help of jump leads.
Both batteries must be 12 V batteries. The capacity (Ah) of the donor battery must not be substantially less than that of the flat battery.
The flat battery must be connected correctly to the vehicle’s electrical system.
A short circuit may be caused if unsuitable jumper cables are used or if jumper cable starting is not performed properly. Such short circuits can cause a fire.fUse only standard jumper cables with sufficient cross section and completely insulated alligator clips. Follow the instructions provided by the jumper cable manufacturer.fRoute the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught by moving parts in the engine compartment.The jumper cables must be long enough so that neither vehicles nor cables touch another.fThe vehicles must not touch, otherwise current might flow as soon as the positive terminals are connected.fEnsure that tools or conductive jewelry (rings, chains, watch straps) do not come into contact with the positive jumper cable, the positive battery post or live parts of the vehicle.fImproper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin the alternator.
