Jump Starting
Warning
Do not carry out this procedure
if you have no experience of it:
incorrect manoeuvres can originate
high electrical discharges and even
cause the battery to explode.
Warning
You are also advised not to
approach the battery with naked
flames or lit cigarettes and not to cause
sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
If your vehicle’s battery has run down, you
may be able to start the engine by using a
booster battery. Although this seems like a
simple procedure, you should take several
precautions while you are at it:
Open the bonnet and check the physical
condition of the battery. If the weather
is very cold, check the condition of the
electrolyte. If it seems slushy or like ice, do
not attempt jump-starting until it thaws.
Connect one jumper cable to the positive
(+) terminal on the booster battery.
Connect the other end of the cable to the
positive terminal of your vehicle’s battery.
Connect the second jumper cable to the
negative (-) terminal on the booster battery.
Connect the other end to the grounding
strap. Do not connect this jumper cable to
any other part of the engine. Caution
Connect the negative lead to a
point away from the battery. Connect the
jumper cable leads away from moving
parts. Otherwise it may be dangerous, the
lead could get caught when the engine
starts and cause serious injury.
If the booster battery is in another vehicle,
set an assistant to start the vehicle and run
it at a fast idle.
Start your vehicle. If the starter motor still
operates slowly, check the jumper cable
connections to make sure they have good
metal-to-metal contact.
