BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)

Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle’s
battery:
Obtain suitable leads (with a large
cross section) from a RENAULT
Dealer or, if you already have jump
leads, ensure that they are in perfect
condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical voltage: 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah)
which is at least the same as that of
the discharged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting 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
supplying the current and run it at
an intermediate engine speed.
Check that there is no contact
between leads A and B and that (+)
lead A is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it is running,
disconnect leads A and B in the
reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Attach the positive lead (+) A to the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged
battery, then to the (+) terminal 2 of
the battery supplying the current.
Attach the negative lead (–) B to the
(–) terminal 3 of the battery
supplying the current and then to
the (–) terminal 4 of the discharged
battery.
