Connect one end of the red jump lead to
the positive

terminal of the vehicle with
the at battery

Connect the other end of the red jump
lead to the positive terminal

in the vehi-
cle providing assistance
B
.
Connect one end of the black jump lead
C
to a suitable ground terminal, to a solid
piece of metal in the engine block, or to
the motor block itself.
Connect the other end of the black jump
lead
D
to a solid metal component bolted
to the engine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the at battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery.
Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with any rotat-
ing part in the engine compartment.
Starting
Start the engine of the vehicle supplying
the current and leave it running at idle.
Start the engine of the vehicle with a dis-
charged battery and wait 2 to 3 minutes
until the engine runs.
Disconnecting the jump leads
Before disconnecting the jump leads,
switch o the dipped beam headlight if it
is on.
Turn on the heating fan and the vehicle's
heated rear window when the battery is
discharged to reduce the voltage peaks
that occur while disconnecting the bat-
tery.
While the engines are still running, discon-
nect the cables in the reverse order in
which they were connected.
If the engine does not start after 10 seconds,
wait for approximately 1 minute and then try
again.
WARNING
●
Please note the safety warnings referring
to working in the engine compartment
›››page342.
●
The battery supplying the current must
have the same voltage (12V) as the at bat-
tery. Failure to comply could result in an ex-
plosion.
●
Never use jump leads when one of the bat-
teries is frozen. Danger of explosion! Even
once thawed, electrolyte leaks can cause
burns. Replace the battery if it is frozen.
●
Keep any sources of ignition (ames, ciga-
rettes, etc.) far enough away from the batter-
ies. They may cause an explosion.
●
Observe the usage instructions of the jump
lead manufacturer.
●
On the other vehicle, do not connect the
negative cable directly to the negative ter-
minal of the discharged battery. Any sparks
could ignite the igniter gas coming out of the
battery and could cause an explosion.
●
The negative wire must never be connec-
ted to fuel system components or brake lines
on the other vehicle.
●
Do not touch uninsulated parts of the pole
clamps. The jump lead attached to the posi-
tive battery terminal must not touch metal
parts of the vehicle, this can cause a short
circuit.
●
Jump leads must be placed in such a way
that they cannot be caught by rotating parts
in the engine compartment.
●
Do not rest your body on the batteries, as
this could cause burns.
●
Take into account the instruction manual
of the jump lead manufacturer and the in-
struction manual of the other vehicle.
NOTICE
Immediately go to a specialist workshop and
have the 12volt battery checked.
