 o

f   the   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours). When
  your   vehicle's   battery   is   discharged,   the  
e

ngine   can   be   started   using   a   slave   battery  
(

external   or   on   another   vehicle)   and   jump   lead  
c

ables.
Starting using another
battery
First check that the slave battery has a nominal   voltage   of   12   V   and   a   capacity  
a

t   least   equal   to   that   of   the   discharged  
b

attery.
