Jump Starting - Chevrolet Beat Petrol Owner's Manual

JUMP STARTING

Do not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged battery can
be started using jump leads and the
battery of another vehicle.
Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation from
the following instructions can lead to
injuries or damage caused by battery
explosion or damage to the electrical
systems of both vehicles.
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric
acid which can cause injuries and
damage in the event of direct contact.
Never expose the battery to naked
¢
flames or sparks.
A discharged battery can already
¢
freeze at temperatures of 0°C.
Defrost the frozen battery before
connecting jump leads.
Wear eye protection and protective
¢
clothing when handling a battery.
Use a booster battery with the same
¢
voltage (12 V). Its 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
2
least 16 mm .
Do not disconnect the discharged
¢
battery from the vehicle.
Switch off all unnecessary elect-
¢
rical consumers.
Do not lean over the battery during
¢
jump starting.
Do not allow the terminals of one
¢
lead to touch those of the other lead.
The vehicles must not come into
¢
contact with each other during the
jump starting process.
Apply the parking brake, trans-
¢
mission in neutral.
