Jump Starting
If the vehicle cannot start due to an overly
discharged 12V battery, it can be jump-started
using another vehicle's 12V battery and jumper
cables, while observing the following points:
● Ensure the supply 12V battery has a rated
voltage of 12V and its capacity (Ah) is not
less than the faulty vehicle's 12V battery.
● The clamps on the jumper cables must be
insulated.
General Description
Charging or jump starting the 12V battery
can produce highly flammable mixed gases.
Ensure that both you and the 12V battery do
not accumulate static electricity. For example,
the following actions can cause static electricity
buildup:
1. Wearing synthetic ber clothing.
2. Friction between clothing and the seat.
3. Dragging or pushing the 12V battery over
carpet or other synthetic materials.
4. Wiping the 12V battery with a cloth.
Avoiding Static Electricity
WARNING
!
● Explosive hydrogen gas may be present
near the 12V battery. The battery must be
kept away from sparks and open ames.
● The two vehicles should not touch each
other during jump starting. Otherwise,
as soon as the positive poles of both
12V batteries are connected, the current
will be immediately connected, posing a
danger.
CAUTION
Before starting work on the 12V battery,
carefully read and follow the safety warnings
related to 12V battery operations.
The battery terminal with a “+” sign is the
positive pole, and the one with a “-” sign is the
negative pole.
