Connect the leads in the order shown in the
illustration:
1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to
the positive terminal

of the battery
providing the jump start (identified by
"+" sign on battery case or terminal).

positive terminal
2
of the discharged
battery ("+" sign).

lead to the negative terminal
3
of the
battery providing the start ("–" sign).
4. Connect the other end of the second
jump lead
4
to ground on the other
vehicle, e.g. engine block or screw
connection in the engine suspension.
z
Do not connect leads to negative
terminal of discharged battery!
z
The connection point should be as far
away from the discharged battery as
possible.

Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
z
Start the engine of the vehicle providing
the jump start.
z
After 5 minutes, start the other engine.
Start attempts should be made at
intervals of 1 minute not last longer
than 15 seconds.

After starting, allow both engines to idle
for approx. 3 minutes with the leads
connected.

electrical system, before removing a
lead, switch on an electrical consumer
(e.g. light, heated rear window) in the
vehicle receiving the jump start.
