Therefore you shall always perform
jump-starting operations using
the adequate tools and in the best

necessary precautions.
•
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
discharged battery is frozen. It could
break or explode during jump start

incorrect manoeuvres can originate
high electrical discharges and even
cause the battery to explode.
•
To avoid the risk of explosion or fire,
do not approach the battery with
open flames or cigarettes that could
generate sparks.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system,
see "Maintenance - Free Battery" in
section "Maintenance and Care").
