– Attach the other end to the positive terminal of the battery supplying the power
.
Connecting negative terminal and engine block
– Attach one end to the negative terminal of the battery supplying the power .
– Attach the other end to a solid metal part which is connected firmly to the
engine block, or to the engine block itself.
Starting the engine
– Start the engine of the vehicle providing current and run the engine at idling speed.
– Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
– Interrupt the attempt at starting an engine after 10 seconds if it does not start right
away and wait for about 30 seconds before repeating the attempt.
– Disconnect the cables on the engine in exactly the reverse order they were
connected up.
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never make contact
with each other. Furthermore, the cable connected to the positive terminal of
the battery must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the
vehicle - risk of a short circuit!
Do not affix the jump starting cables to the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping out the battery
being ignited by the strong spark which results from the engine being started.
Run the jump-start cables so that they cannot be caught by any rotating
parts in the engine compartment.
Do not bend over the batteries - risk of caustic burns!
The vent screws of the battery cells must be tightened firmly.
Keep any sources of ignition (naked flame, smouldering cigarettes etc.)
away from the battery - risk of an explosion!
Never jump-start the batteries which have a too low electrolyte level - risk
of explosion and caustic burns.
Jump-starting on vehicles with jump-starting point
For vehicles with the 3.6 ltr./191 kW FSI engines, the positive terminal of the battery
supplying the power can only be connected to the jump-starting point in the engine
compartment of the vehicle which must be started by means of a jump-starting
cable fig. 202!
– Open the protective cap of the jump-starting point in direction of arrow.
– Connect the positive terminal of the battery supplying the power with the jump-
starting point.
– Attach the negative terminal of the battery supplying the power to a solid metal
part which is connected firmly to the engine block or to the engine block itself.
–Start the engine page 242.
– After the engine start, close the protective cap of the jump-starting point.
