12 VOLT BATTERY: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Check that there is no contact between
the cables A and B and that the (+)
cable A is not touching any metal parts
on the vehicle supplying the current.
Start the motor, then disconnect
cables A and B in reverse order (4 -3 -
2-1).Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage: 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the motor of the vehicle supplying
the current and run it at an intermediate
engine speed.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap-
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti-
lated area. Risk of serious injury.

(+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery
supplying the current.

(–) 3 terminal of the battery supplying
the current and then to the (–) 4 termi-
nal of the discharged battery.
Do not use your electric vehicle to restart the 12 volt battery in a con\
ventional
vehicle. The 12 volt electric power of an electric vehicle is not enough to perfo\
rm
such an operation.
