STARTING AND DRIVING
484
mends that an authorised Volvo workshop is
contacted.
When jump-starting the car, the following
steps are recommended to avoid short circuits
or other damage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in ignition
position 0.
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage
of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another
car - switch off the donor car's engine and
make sure that the two cars do not touch
each other.
4. Connect one of the red jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's positive ter-
minal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Open the positive jump-starting point's
cover (2).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp
onto the car's positive jump-starting point
(2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's negative ter-
minal (3).
8. Connect the black jump lead's other
clamp onto the car's negative jump-star-
ting point (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are
affixed securely so that there are no sparks
during the starting attempt.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and
allow it to run a few minutes at a speed
slightly higher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.
11. Start your own car's engine. If the start
attempt fails then extend the charging
time to 10 minutes, and then make a new
start attempt.
NOTE
When starting the engine in normal condi-
tions the car's electric drive motor is priori-
tised - the petrol engine remains switched
off. This means that after the start knob
has been turned clockwise, the electric
motor has "started" and the car is ready to
move. A started motor is indicated by the
driver display's indicator lamps extinguish-
ing and its preset theme illuminating.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the connections between
cable and car during the starting attempt.
There is a risk of sparks forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -
first the black and then the red.
Make sure that none of the black jump
lead's clamps comes into contact with the
car's positive jump-starting point/donor
battery's positive terminal or the clamp
connected to the red jump lead.
