BATTERY: breakdown
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle's

battery:

Obtain suitable jump leads (with a
large cross section) from a Renault
Dealer or, if you already have jump
leads, ensure that they are in perfect
condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage: 12 volts.
The battery supplying the current
should have a capacity (amp-hours,
Ah) which is at least the same as
that of the discharged battery.
An iced-up battery must be thawed
out before current is supplied to it.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting when the
positive terminals are connected)
and that the discharged battery is
properly connected.
Switch off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
an average speed.
