Do not start the vehicle using a rapid charging device. If your vehicle's battery is discharged,

the engine can be jump-started from another vehicle or from a second battery using jumper

cables. Observe the following points:

The battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible,

jump-start the vehicle using a second battery or a jump-starting device.

Vehicles with a gasoline engine: only jump-start the vehicle when the engine and exhaust

system are cold.

Do not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.

Only jump-start from batteries with a 12 V voltage rating.

Only use jumper cables which have a sufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.

If the battery is fully discharged, leave the battery that is being used to jump-start connected

for a few minutes before attempting to start. This charges the battery slightly.

Make sure that the two vehicles do not touch.

Make sure that:

the jumper cables are not damaged.

when the jumper cables are connected to the battery, uninsulated sections of the terminal

clamp do not come into contact with other metal sections.

the jumper cables cannot come into contact with parts which can move when the engine

is running, such as the V-belt pulley or the fan.

Apply the parking brake firmly.

Shift the transmission to position P.

Switch off all electrical consumers, e.g. rear window defroster, lighting, etc.

Open the hood.

Position number B identifies the charged battery of the other vehicle or an equivalent jump-

starting device.
