If, because of a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. To do this, jump-
start cables are required which have a sufficiently large cross-section and in-
sulated terminal clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the
power-supplying battery must not be significantly lower than the capacity of
the discharged battery.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
1
›
Attach clamp to the positive terminal of the power-supplying battery.
2
›
Attach clamp to the negative terminal of the power-supplying battery.
3
›
For vehicles with the START-STOP system, secure the clamp
ground point of the engine
›
For vehicles without the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
metal part firmly attached to the engine block or directly to the engine block.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Initiate the starting process in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Disconnect the jumper cables in reverse order to connecting.
