Emergency starting
A -Flat battery
B - Boosting battery

The battery
is located in the engine com­

partment.

I f the engine will not start because the bat­
tery is flat.
jumper cables can be con­
nected to the battery of another vehicle to
start the engine . The follow ing points
should be noted
• Both batteries
must be of the 12 Volt var­
iety and the capacity (Ah) of the booster bat­
tery must be app roximately the same as that of the flat battery .
• The jumper cables must be heavy
enough to carry the load. Note cable manu­
facture r's data. •
Only use Jumper cabl
es with insulated
clips.
• A flat battery
can freeze at -1 Ooe and if
a battery is frozen it must be thawed out be­
fore connecting Jumper cables, o th erwise it
could explode.
• There
must be no contact between the
vehic les, other wise current can flo w as soon as the plus terminal s are connected .
• The flat battery
must be properly con­
nected to the electrical system.
• The engine of the boosting vehicle
must be running.
•
The jumper cables must only be con­
nected as follo w s: 1. One end of (+) cable (usually red) to the (+) term inal of the flat battery.
2 . Other end of the red cable to the (+l ter­
minal
of boosting battery.
3. One end of H cable (usually black) to the
H terminal of boosting battery.
4. Other end of blac k cable (X) to a solid
metal part bolted to th e block or to cylinder
block itself.
Do not connect the cable to the flat battery
m in us terminal. The sparks could Ignite the
exp losive gas flowing out of the battery
Attention • The non-insulated parts of the cable clips must not touch one another on any account. Further­more the jumper cable attached to the battery positive terminal must not come into contact with electrically conductive vehicle parts -Short circuit danger! • Route the jumper cables so that they cannot come into con­tact with rotating parts in the en­gine compartment. • Do not stand with your face over the battery -danger of acid burns! • Keep sources of igni~ion(naked flames, burning cIga­rettes etc.) well away from the battery -Explosion danger!
• Start the engine as described in the
"Starting engine" section.
• If the engine does not start at once, stop
using starter after
10 seconds, wait about
half a minute and then try aga in.
• With engine running, disconnect cables in reverse sequence .
