Jump starting
If the starter battery (p. 360) is discharged then
the car can be started with current from another
battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps
are recommended to avoid short circuits or other
damage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in key position
0, see Key positions (p. 80).
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of
12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car
- switch off the donor car's engine and make
sure that the two cars do not touch each
other.
2In cars with keyless start and lock system it is enough to have a remote control key inside the passenger compartment.
