MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE - 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 car.
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 cars.
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
voltage as the battery in your car (12 V). Its capacity must be
approximately the same as the original battery capacity. The
voltage and capacity are given on the batteries.
•
Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the car.
•
Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads.
•
Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
•
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.
Connect leads in the order as shown in the sketch :

•
Do not connect the lead to the negative terminal of the
discharged battery.
•
The connection of the -ve lead point should be as far away
from the discharged battery as possible and close to the
starter motor on engine/transaxle.
•
Route the leads so that they cannot get caught by the
rotating parts in the engine compartment.
•
The engine of the car providing the jump start can be
allowed to run during starting.
Attempts to start the engine of the car 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.
