a booster battery with equal or slightly
higher capacity than the discharged one.

WARNINGS
When a booster battery is used, comply
with the use and precaution instructions
specified by the producer.
Do not use the booster battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the conventional
battery, the starter (where provided),
the alternator (where provided) and the
electrical system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
conventional battery is frozen. The
battery could break and explode!
JUMP STARTING

When jump starting, never connect the
negative cable (-) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole (1) fig. 225 of the
conventional car battery. The following
spark could lead to battery explosion and
cause serious harm. Only use the specific
earth point; do not use any other exposed
metallic part.
WARNING Avoid contact between the
two vehicles since this could cause a
connection to earth and may result in
serious injury to any people nearby.
WARNING After setting the ignition
device to STOP and closing the driver's
door, wait at least two minutes before
disconnecting the electrical supply
from the traditional battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
conventional battery, make sure that the
ignition device is in the STOP position
and the driver's door is closed.
