8. Accident handling
CAUTION
● While connecting the batteries of two
vehicles, be sure to first connect the
positive terminal and then the negative
terminal.
● Properly place the jumper cable to avoid
contact between the cable and the
moving parts of the engine.
WARNING
● Be sure to turn off the headlamps
before removing the jumper cables.
● Tu r n o n t h e b l o w e r a n d r e a r
windshield heater of the vehicle with
the depleted battery to reduce the
voltage peak generated when the
cable are being removed.
● Remove the jumper cables with the
engine running in the reverse order.
WARNING
The jumper cable should be properly
connected to the positive and negative
terminals instead of other positions of the
battery as mentioned above, otherwise it
may cause blown fuse or faiulre of some
vehicle functions, and GAC will not assume
any responsibility for such damage.
WARNING
Improper use of jumper cables may
cause battery explosion and serious
injury.
● The voltage of the power battery
must be the same as that of the
depleted battery, and the capacities
of the two batteries shall also be the
same. Otherwise, it may cause an
explosion.
● Never expose the battery to an open
flame, for fear of an explosion.
● Never connect the negative cable
directly to the negative terminal
of a depleted battery. There shall
be no static electricity near the
battery. Otherwise, the combustible
gas produced by the battery may
be ignited by sparks, causing an
explosion accident.
● Never connect the negative cable to
a fuel system component or a brake
line. Never lean over the battery
during operation. Be careful not to
get burned by acid.
