Starting the Engine with Jump Leads :
The engine with a discharged battery may be started by
transferring electrical power from a battery in another car.
This may be dangerous as any deviation from the following
instructions could lead to personal injury resulting from any
battery explosion, as well as damage to the electrical systems
in both cars.
Starting the Engine with Jump Leads
• Make sure that the battery providing the jump start has
the same voltage as the battery in your car (12 V). Its
capacity must be approximately the same as the original
battery capacity. The voltage and capacity are given on the
batteries.
• Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the car.
• Switch off all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
• Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of
the other lead.
• Apply the hand brake. Keep the gearshift lever in neutral.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come in contact
with eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid
contains sulphuric acid which can cause injury and
severe damage. Wear rubber gloves, to avoid risk of
contact.
• To lessen the risk of injury, wear eye protection when
working near any battery.
