WARNING!
• Using booster packs that have not
been checked, which could therefore
release a too high charging voltage
(higher than 14 V), in extreme
environmental conditions (for
example: closed areas or without
proper ventilation and temperatures
higher than 122°F/50°C or lower
than -4°F/-20°C), could create the
right conditions for ignition which
could then cause the battery to
explode. Therefore you shall always
perform jump-starting operations
with appropriate tools and
environmental conditions, taking all
necessary precautions.
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the
discharged battery is frozen. It could
rupture or explode during jump start
and cause personal injury.
• Do not carry out this procedure if
you have not done it before:
incorrect manoeuvres can originate
high electrical discharges and even
cause the battery to explode.
• To avoid the risk of explosion or fire,
do not approach the battery with
open flames or cigarettes that could
generate sparks.
NOTE:
If you need to disconnect the battery
from the vehicle electrical system, see
“Maintenance — Free Battery” in
section 7).
