The two batteries must have an
identical nominal voltage of 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 con-
tact 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 sup-
plying the current and run it at an in-
termediate engine speed.

of the discharged
battery, then to the (+) terminal
2
of
the battery supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable (–)
B
to
the (–)
3
terminal of the battery sup-
plying the current and then to the (–)
4
terminal of the discharged bat-
tery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon
as it starts, disconnect cables
A
and
B
in reverse order (
4
-

).
Check that there is no
contact between leads
A
and

and that the
positive lead
A
is not
touching any metal parts on the
