Emergency situations
@ Tips
The discharged battery must be properly con­
nected to the vehicle's electrical system .
When jump starting or charging the battery,
never connect the negative ground cable to
the battery negative post because the battery
manager system must be able to detect the
battery's state of charge. Always connect the
negat ive ground cable to the negative ground
pos t of the battery manager control unit.
Using the jump start
cable
Both jump start cables must be connected in the
correct order!

the red cover = "pos itive") on the vehicle that
needs to be started @.
2. Secure the other end of the positive cable
(red) to the positive terminal @on the bat­
tery provid ing the cur rent @.
Connecting the negative cable (black) to the
negative terminal
3. Secure one end of the negative cable (black)
to the negative terminal @ on the battery
that is providing the current @.
4. Secure the other end of the negative cable
(black) to the jump start
pin @ (hex head pin
= "negative") on the vehicle that needs to be
started @.
Starting the engine
... Start the eng ine on the vehicle providing the
jump start @and let it run at idle .
... Now start the engine on the vehicle with the
drained battery @.
... If the engine does not start, stop the starting
procedure after 10 seconds and then repeat it
after approximately 30 seconds .
... Remove the cables when the engi nes are run­
ning. Remove them in reverse order from the
way they were installed.
" Close the red cover on the positive terminal.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from enter ing the vehicle interior. Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connected
with their
metal parts in full contact with the
battery terminals .
A WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury and damage
to the vehicle, heed all warnings and instruc­
tions of the jumper cable manufacturer. If in
doubt, call for road service .
