IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
START WITH JUMP LEAD
•
Do not allow the terminals of one
lead to touch those of the other
lead.
•
Apply the hand brake. Keep the
gearshift lever in neutral.
•
Do not connect the lead to the
negative terminal of the
discharged battery.
•
The connection of the -ve lead
point should be as far as away
from the discharged battery as
possible and close to the starter
motor.
•
Route the leads so that they
cannot get caught by the rotating
parts in the engine compartment.
•
The engine of the vehicle
providing the jump start can be
allowed to run during starting.
Attempts to start the engine of the
vehicle with the discharged battery
should be made at intervals of one
minute and should not last more
than 15 seconds. After starting,
allow both engines to idle for
approximately 3 minutes with the
leads still connected.
CAUTION
Vehicle provided with MPFI &
should not be started by pushing
or towing as the fuel pump not
work in that condition. This starting
method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter.
Use jump leads to start a vehicle
with a weak or flat battery.
Starting the Engine with Jump
Leads :
The engine with a discharged
battery may be started by
transferring electrical power from a
battery in another vehicle.
This may be dangerous as any
deviation from the following
instructions could lead to personal
injury resulting from any battery
explosion, as well as damage to the
electrical systems in both vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow battery electrolyte
to come in contact with eyes,
skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.
The fluid contains sulphuric acid
which can cause injury and
severe damage. Wear rubber
gloves, to avoid risk of contact.
To lessen the risk of injury, wear eye
protection when working near any
battery.
•
Make sure that the battery
providing the jump start has the
same rated voltage as the battery
in your vehicle (12 V). Its capacity
must be approximately the same
as the original battery capacity.
The rated voltage and capacity
are given on the batteries.
•
Do not disconnect the
discharged battery from the
vehicle.
•
Switch off all unnecessary
electrical loads.
•
Do not lean over the battery
during jump starting.
