The discharged battery must be properly con-
nected to the on-board network.
Make sure that the clamps have suicient
metal contact when connecting them to the
poles.
Jump lead terminal connections
The jump leads should only be connected in
the order 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 ›››Fig.209.

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 suitable ground terminal, a
solid metal component bolted to the en-
gine block or to the engine block itself of
the vehicle with the at battery. Do not
connect it to a point near the battery.
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349.
●
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.
