Jump starting

The wires leading to the
power socket do not
have a load-capacity rating
adequate for jump-starting the
engine. Excessively high cur-
rent can lead to a cable fire or
damage to the vehicle elec-
tronics.
Do not use the on-board
socket to jump-start the
engine.c
To start the engine, do
not use start sprays or
similar items.c
Inadvertent contact
between the terminal
clips of the jump leads and the
vehicle can lead to short
circuits.
Only use jump leads with fully
insulated battery-post clips.c
Jump-starting with a
voltage greater than 12 V
can damage the vehicle
electronics.
The battery of the other vehicle
must have a 12 V system
voltage.c
• Do not disconnect the
battery from the vehicle
electrical system when
jump-starting.
• Remove the cover of the
battery compartment.
• Let the engine of the donor
vehicle run during the
jump-starting process.
• First of all, use the red jump
leads to connect the positive
terminal of the discharged
battery with the positive
terminal of the donor battery.
• Then connect one end of the
black jump lead to the nega-
tive terminal of the donor
battery, and the other end to
the negative terminal of the
discharged battery.
