When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a backup battery (external or from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a battery booster.
WARNI NG
Never start the engine by connecting a battery charger.Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.Check beforehand that the backup battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least equal to that of the discharged battery.The two vehicles must not be in contact with each other.Switch off all the electrical consumers on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).Make sure that the jump leads are not close to the moving parts of the engine (fan, belt, etc.).Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the engine is running.
► Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of flat battery A (at the metal elbow), then to the (+) terminal of backup battery B or the booster.► Connect one end of the green or black cable to the (-) terminal of backup battery B or the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting vehicle).► Connect the other end of the green or black cable to earth point C on the broken down vehicle.► Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and leave it running for a few minutes.► Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.► Wait for it to return to idle.► Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.► Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
