Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to start the vehicle from
another vehicle battery, proceed as
follows:
obtain the appropriate jump leads
(large section) from a RENAULT
Dealer, or if you already have jump
leads, make sure they are in perfect
condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical voltage: 12 volts.
The battery capacity (ampere-hour,
Ah) supplying the current should be
at least identical to the discharged
battery.
An iced-up battery must be thawed
out before current is supplied to it.
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.
