Starting with a donor battery
If for some reason the battery in your car is
discharged, you can "borrow" current from a
spare battery or another car’s battery to start
the engine. Always check that the clamps are
fastened properly to prevent sparking during
the start attempt.
To avoid the risk of explosion, we recom-
mend you do exactly as follows.
– Turn the ignition key to position 0 .
– Ensure that the donor battery is 12 volt .
– If the booster battery is in another car,
stop the engine of that car and make sure
the cars are not touching.
– Connect the red cable between the boost-
er battery positive terminal (1+) and the
red connection in the engine
compartment (2+).
Attach the clamp to the contact point
located beneath a small black cover with a
plus sign which is integrated in the fuse
box cover.
– Connect one clamp of the black cable to
the negative terminal of the booster bat-
tery (3–).
– Connect the other clamp of the black
cable to the lifting eye on the car’s
engine (4–).
– Start the engine of the "booster car". Let
the engine run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle, 1500 rpm.
– Start the engine of the car with the flat
battery.
– Remove the clamps in reverse order.
NOTE
Do not remove the clamps during the start
attempt (risk of spark build-up).
WARNING
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. One spark, which
can be generated if you connect the jump
leads incorrectly, is sufficient to make the
battery explode.
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which
can cause serious burns. If the acid comes
into contact with eyes, skin or clothing,
flush with large quantities of water. If acid
splashes into the eyes, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
