jump lead
C
, to a suitable earth terminal, to a piece of
solid met
al that is bolt
ed to the crankcase or
to the crankcase of the vehicle itself that sup-

ery, t
o a piece of solid metal that is bol-
ted to the crankcase or to the crankcase itself
but as far a possible from the battery
A
. Do
not connect the bl
ack jump l
ead to the nega-
tive pole – of the 12-volt battery. If it is con-
nected, this may cause an erroneous evalua-
tion of the state of the battery inside the elec-
tronic system of the vehicle.
●
Position the leads in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery ter-
minals.
Starting
●
Start the engine of the vehicle with the
boosting battery and let it run at idling speed.
●
Connect the vehicle's drive system with the
discharged 12-volt battery.
Removing the jump leads
●
Before you remove the jump leads, switch
off the dipped beam headlights if they are
switched on.
●
When the engine is running, disconnect the
leads in reverse order to the details given
above.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again after
about 1 minute.
WARNING
●
Please not
e the safety warnings referring
to working in the engine compartment
›››
page 180.
●
The battery providing assistance must
have the same voltage as the flat battery
(12V) and approximately the same capaci-
ty (see imprint on battery). Failure to com-
ply could result in an explosion.
●
If one of the batteries is frozen, do not at-
tempt to start the engine with the jump
leads, as this may cause an explosion. Even
after the battery has thawed, battery acid
could leak and cause chemical burns. If a
battery freezes, it should be replaced.
●
Keep sparks, flames and lighted ciga-
rettes away from batteries, danger of ex-
plosion. Failure to comply could result in an
explosion.
●
Observe the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the jump leads.
●
Do not connect the negative cable from
the other vehicle directly to the negative
terminal of the flat battery. The gas emit-
ted from the battery could be ignited by
sparks. Danger of explosion.
