BATTERY: breakdown
(continued)
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
Proceed as follows when starting
your vehicle from another vehicle’s
battery:
Obtain suitable jump leads (with a
large
cross
section)
from
a
RENAULT Dealer or, if you already
have jump leads, ensure that they
are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an
identical voltage: 12 volts. The
battery
supplying
the
current
should have a capacity (amp-hours,
Ah) which is at least the same as
that of the discharged battery.
An iced-up battery must be thawed
out before current is supplied to it.
Ensure that there is no risk of
contact between the two vehicles
(risk of short circuiting when the
positive terminals are connected)
and that the discharged battery is
properly connected. Switch off your
vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle
supplying the current and run it at
an intermediate engine speed.
Attach positive cable (+) A to the (+)
terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to the (+) terminal 2 of the
battery supplying the current.
Attach negative cable (–) B to the (–)
terminal 3 of the battery supplying
the current and then to the (–)
terminal 4 of the discharged battery.
Check that there is no contact
between cables A and B and that
cable A (+) is not touching any
metal parts on the vehicle which is
supplying the current.
Start the engine as normal. As soon
as it starts, disconnect cables A and
B in reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Handle the battery with
care
as
it
contains
sulphuric acid which must
not come into contact with
the eyes or skin. If it does, wash the
affected area with plenty of cold
water.
Ensure that naked flames, red-hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
Take care when working in the
engine compartment as the engine
cooling fan may start to operate any
moment without warning.
