BREAKDOWN RECOVERY
6
The two batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage: 12 V. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no contact be-
tween the two vehicles (risk of short
circuit 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 supply-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Note: on the Hybrid version, as the
battery cannot be directly accessed, it
is necessary to use the remote termi-
nals located in the engine compart-
ment.
Do not use your Hybrid ve-
hicle to restart a "12 Volt"
battery in another vehicle.
The electrical power in the sec-
ondary "12 V" battery of an Hybrid
vehicle is not sufficient for this op-
eration.
Risk of damage to the vehicle.
