Manual Description
In this section you'll find information about, if your electric motor cannot be activated because the 12 Volt vehicle battery is dead, your vehicle's 12, volt battery can be connected to the battery of another vehicle to start your electric motor (jumpstarting), you must use jumper cables that meet recognized industrial standards (check information provided by.
Cable wire must be at least 0, working in electric motor compartment, working on the batteries or the electrical system in your vehicle can cause serious acid, always keep children away from battery acid and vehicle batteries general.
Sulfuric battery acid is very corrosive and can cause blindness and damage to unprotected skin, never lean over a vehicle battery, reduce your risk of injury, never tilt the batteries; acid could spill out through vents, a highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the battery being charged.
Always avoid fires, sparks, open flame, and smoking, charges when handling cables and electrical equipment, several minutes and get medical attention immediately, improper use of jumper cables when jump-starting a vehicle with a dead battery can cause.
The battery to explode, leading to serious personal injury, precautions before working on the batteries or the electrical system ⇒ 12 Volt vehicle battery, always make sure that the battery providing starting assistance (the booster battery) has, the same voltage as the dead battery (12 V) and about the same amperage capacity (see battery label).
Never jump-start a vehicle with a thawed or frozen vehicle battery, a battery that is frozen or was frozen, but has since thawed, must be replaced, when the vehicle battery is jump-started, it gives off hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive! Always keep fire, sparks, open flame, and smoking materials far away from vehicle batteries, jump-start batteries only in well-ventilated areas.
Always route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any moving parts, never short out the battery terminals by connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with each other, never connect the negative cable from the other vehicle directly negative terminal, of the dead battery, as this may cause the hydrogen gas given off by the dead battery explode.
Never attach the negative cable from the vehicle providing starting assistance any part, of the brake hoses brake lines, never allow the non-insulated parts of the battery clamps touch, never allow the jumper cable attached to the positive battery terminal contact metal.
Always follow the instructions of jumper cable manufacturer, to help prevent extensive damage to the vehicle electrical system, read heed following, connecting jumper cables improperly can cause a short circuit do expensive damage, electrical current may flow between the vehicles when the positive (+) terminals connected.
Please first read and note the introductory information heed WARNINGS, the jump-start terminal for connecting the black jump-start cable is in electric motor compartment, the vehicle can only be jump-started or be used to jump-start another vehicle via jump-start, the dead battery must be properly connected to vehicle's electrical system.
Make certain that the vehicles are not touching each other, soon as the positive terminals (+) are connected, the clamps on the jumper cables must have good contact to bare metal battery terminals, if the electric motor does not start, stop the process after 10 seconds and repeat after about 1 minute.
The procedure for attaching and for removing the jumper cables is described below, the following steps only in the order described, which follow the letters shown illustration, terminal, or if that is not available, a bare metal part of the vehicle with dead battery, part should be connected directly to the electric motor block.
Electric motor block itself or to the towing eye installed on the front of the vehicle ⇒ page 408, Towing, start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery that is providing help and let it run idle, turn on the ignition of your vehicle with the dead battery, to minutes before removing the jumper cables described below ⇒ .
Cannot be activated within about 10 seconds, turn off the ignition and wait at least 1 minute; then try, switch off the headlights (if they on), in the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and the rear window defroster.
