Check that the assisting battery has suffi cient voltage (12 V).
If you use the battery on another vehicle, stop the engine on the latter. The two vehicles must not come into direct contact with each other.
Connect the cables according to the order indicated in the diagram. orderCheck that the leads are well secured (risk of sparks).
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle. Let the engine run for around 1 minute at a slightly accelerated idle.
Operate the starter on the vehicle being assisted.Note: For any operation necessitating a disconnection of the bat-tery, you must wait 3 minutes after switching the ignition off, taking no action which will prevent the vehicle's electrical system from g oing to sleep (such as operating the doors and tailgate, pressing the buttons on the remote control, etc.).
Never approach with a fl ame or create sparks in the vicinity of the battery (explosive gas).
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive.
When handling batteries, always protect your face a nd especially your eyes.
In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immediatel y with copious amounts of fresh water.
