EMERGENCY AND BREAKDOWN ASSISTANCE

Jump starting your car

Use only a battery of same rating & ca-
pacity to jump start your vehicle. Position
the booster battery close to your vehicle
so that the jump leads will reach both
batteries.
When using a battery of another vehicle,
do not let the vehicles touch. Apply the
parking brake firmly and keep the gear-
shift lever in neutral.
Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety like hazard
warning lamps.
If your vehicle is equipped with Battery
Sensor, then do not connect your jump
start cable lead directly on the Sensor
surface. Connect only on the negative
cable surface as shown on the image. Af-
ter jump start event, IAC function will be
restored only when the Vehicle is parked
in idle for 3-4 Hours.

 Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of the
discharged battery.
 Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery.
 Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (–) terminal of
the booster battery.
 Make the final connection (other end

painted, heavy metal part (i.e. engine
mounting stud/nut) of the vehicle of
discharged battery.
 Start the engine of the vehicle with
the discharged battery.
 Before disconnecting the jumper ca-
bles, let the engine run for several
minutes.
 If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the en-
gine of the vehicle with the booster
battery. Run the engine at moderate
speed.
