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.
