& WARN ING (conti nued)
• Before you check anything in the engine compartment , always
read and heed all WARNINGS~
page 281, "Engine compart­
ment ".
0 Note
• App lying a higher vo ltage booster battery will cause expensive
damage to sens itive e lectron ic components, such as contro l units,
relays, radio, etc.
• There must be no electrical contact between the vehicles as other­
wise current could already start to flow as soon as the positive(+)
terminals are connected.
[I] Tips
• The discharged battery must be properly connected to the
vehicle's electrical system . When jump starting or charging the
battery, never connect the negative ground cable to the battery nega­
tive post because the battery manager system must be able to detect
the battery's state of charge . Always connect the negative ground
cable to the negative ground post of the battery manager control
unit. •
