Please refer to and at the start
of the chapter on page 305.
The discharged 12-volt vehicle battery must
be properly connected to the vehicle’s elec-
trical system.
The vehicles must not touch. Otherwise
electricity could
flow
as soon as the posi-
tive terminals are connected.
Ensure that the battery clamps have good
metal-to-metal contact with the battery
terminals.
Comply with the information on jump start-
ing contained in the Owner’s Manual for the
other vehicle.
WARNING
Jump starting the vehicle incorrectly can
cause the 12-volt vehicle battery to ex-
plode, which can lead to serious injuries.
Please note the following in order to re-
duce the risk of the 12-volt vehicle battery
exploding:
·
Always wear suitable eye protection
and gloves and never lean over the 12-
volt vehicle battery.
·
Attach the connecting cables in the cor-
rect order – the positive cable

fol-
lowed by the negative cable.
·
Never connect the negative lead to
parts of the fuel system or to the brake
lines.
·
Do not allow the uninsulated parts of
the terminal clamps to touch each oth-
er.
·
Do not allow leads attached to the pos-
itive battery terminal on the 12-volt ve-
hicle battery to touch electrically con-
ductive parts of the vehicle.
·
Avoid electrostatic discharge in the vi-
cinity of the 12-volt vehicle battery. The
