Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by connecting a battery charger.Never use a 24 V or higher battery b o o s t e r.First check that the slave 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 the electrical consumers on both vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, ...).Ensure that the jump lead cables do not pass close to moving parts of the engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.
F Raise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.F Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the metal elbow) then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B or the b o o s t e r.F Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B or the booster (or earth point on the other vehicle).F Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on the broken down vehicle.
F Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few minutes.
F Operate the starter on the broken down vehicle and let the engine run.If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition and wait a few moments before trying again.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a slave battery (external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables or a battery booster.
Some functions, including Stop & Start, are not available if the battery is not sufficiently charged.
F Wait until the engine returns to idle then disconnect the jump lead cables in the reverse order.F Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.F Allow the engine to run for at least 30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle stationary, so that the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
