Connect leads in the order shown in
the picture:
1. Connect one end of the first jump lead
to the positive terminal of the battery
providing the jump start (identified by
"+" sign on battery case or terminal).
2 Connect the other end of this lead to
the positive terminal of the discharged
battery ("+" sign).
3. Connect the first end of the other jump
lead to the negative terminal of the
battery providing the jump start
(identified by "ñ").
4. Connect the other end of the second
jump lead to ground on the other vehicle
e.g. engine block or screw connection
in engine suspension.
Do not connect lead to negative terminal
of discharged battery!
The connection point should be as far
away from the discharged battery as
possible.
Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
5. The engine of the vehicle providing the
jump start can be allowed to run during
starting.
Attempts to start the engine of the
vehicle with the discharged battery
should be made at intervals of one
minute and should not last longer than
15 seconds. After starting, allow both
engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes
with the leads still connected.
6. Turn off the engine, then carefully
disconnect the jump cables in the
reverse order of connection.
If you leave the audio system on, it
could be badly damaged.
Vehicles with catalytic converter or
automatic transmission must not be
