capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged
battery.
■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at
least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for diesel
engines).
■ Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.
■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical
consumers. The Infotainment
system may be damaged if
switched on while jump starting.
■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.

lead.■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the
jump starting process.

Lead connection order:
1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal 1 of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal 2 of
the discharged battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal 3 of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black
lead to a vehicle grounding point,
such as the engine block 4 or an
engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged
battery as possible, however at
least 60 cm.
Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.

2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be
made for no longer than
15 seconds at an interval of
