WARNING
Failure to follow these directions will
cause damage to the electronic components,
and can lead to a battery explosion and
severe injury or death.
Never lean over batteries while connecting
or jump starting, you might get injured.
Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not
allow this fluid to come in contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does,
immediately flush affected area with
water, and seek medical help if necessary.
A battery will also produce hydrogen gas,
which is flammable and very explosive.
Keep flames or sparks away from battery,
avoid improper connection of jumper
cables, smoking, etc.
Attempting to jump start a frozen battery
can result in it exploding, causing
personal injury.
Read all instructions before proceeding.
!
Do not tow‑start vehicle. It is not
possible to tow-start the vehicle.
Attempting to do so may seriously damage
the drivetrain which would not be
covered by the smart Limited Warranty.
If the 12-volt battery is discharged, the
drive system cannot be started, regardless
of whether the high-voltage battery is
charged or not. Jump starting will not help
to start the drive system if the high-
voltage battery is drained. The high-
voltage battery must then be charged.
The drive system can be started with jumper
cables and the fully charged battery of
another vehicle or an equivalent starter
pack.
Observe the following:
R
Do not start the drive system if the
battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw out
first.
R
Only jump start from batteries with the
same voltage rating (12 V). Jump starting
with a more powerful battery could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
Such damage will not be covered by the
smart Limited Warranty.
R
Only use jumper cables with sufficient
cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
