Starting with a donor battery
G020298
If the battery in the car has become flat, you
can "borrow" electric current from either a sep-
arate battery or from another car. Always make
sure the crocodile clips on the jump leads are
attached securely to eliminate sparks during
the start attempt.
When jump starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid risk of explosion:
1. Turn the remote control key to key position
0.
2. Ensure that the other battery is 12 volt.
3. If the donor battery is in another car, switch
off the engine in the other car and ensure
that the cars do not touch one another.
4. Connect the red jump lead between the
positive terminal on the donor battery (1+)
and the positive terminal in your car (2+).
5. Connect one end of the black jump lead to
the donor battery's negative terminal (3-).
6. Connect the other end of the black jump
lead to the earthing point (4–) by the left-
hand strut tower.
7. Start the engine of the "donor car". Let the
engine run a few minutes at a speed slightly
higher than idle 1500 rpm.
8. Start the engine of the car with the flat bat-
tery.
9. Remove the jump leads, first the black and
then the red.
Make sure that none of the clamps on the
black jump lead comes into contact with
the battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the crocodile clips during the
start procedure. There is a risk of sparks
forming.
WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect the jump
leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the
battery explode.
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns. If the acid comes
into contact with eyes, skin or clothing, flush
with large quantities of water.
If acid splashes into the eyes, seek medical
attention immediately.
