STARTING AND DRIVING
||
11. Start your vehicle's engine. If the engine
does not start, allow an additional 10
minutes of charging time and then try to
start the engine again.
NOTE
When the engine is started under normal
conditions, the vehicle's electrical drive
motor is prioritized – the gasoline engine
remains off. This means that after the start
knob has been turned clockwise, the elec-
tric motor has "started" and the vehicle is
ready to be driven. Start of the electric
motor is indicated by the indicator lights on
the instrument panel going out and its pre-
selected theme illuminating.
CAUTION
Do not touch the connections between the
cable and the vehicle during the start
attempt. Risk of sparking.
12. Remove the jumper cables in the reverse
order ‒ first the black cables and then the
red cables.
Make sure that none of the clamps of the
black jumper cables come into contact
with either vehicle's positive (+) jump start
terminals or either of the red jumper
cable's connected clamps.
