For easier operation, remote battery
posts for jumpstarting are located in the
front luggage compartment. Open the

fuses box cover.
The positive remote post (+) and the
negative remote post (–) are indicated in

Jump Start Procedure
WARNING!
•
Stay clear of the radiator cooling fan
whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition device is on.
You can be injured by the moving fan
blades.
•
Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact.
You could be seriously injured.

Do not allow the vehicles involved in
the jumpstarting operation to touch
each other as this could establish a
ground connection and cause personal
injury.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
• Set the parking brake, move the dual
clutch transmission into P (Park) mode
and set the ignition device to STOP.

the battery, park the vehicle within
the jumper cables reach and set the
parking brake and make sure the
ignition is off.
