Starting using another battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be 
started using a backup battery (either external or 
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a 
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a 
battery charger.
Never use a 24
  V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery 
has a nominal voltage of 12
  V and a capacity 
at least equal to that of the discharged 
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with 
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment 
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, 
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away 
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt, 
etc.).
