BATTERY: breakdown (continued)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle's
battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (large)
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.
Attach the positive cable (+) A to the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged
battery, then to the (+) terminal 2 of
the battery supplying the current.
Attach negative cable (–) B to (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying
the current and then to (–) terminal
4 of the discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact
between cables A and B and that
cable A (+) is not touching any
metal parts on the vehicle which is
supplying the current.
Start the engine as you would
normally. As soon as it starts,
disconnect cables A and B in
reverse order (4-3-2-1).
