In doing so, extreme caution must be exercised. Any deviation from the above instructions may result in personal injury or damage from battery explosions and damage to the electrical components of both vehicles.
Avoid sparks and open flames near the battery.
A discharged battery can freeze even at 0°C. Before connecting the auxiliary starter cable, it is necessary to defrost the frozen battery in a warm room.
Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, fabrics or varnished surfaces. The liquid contains sulfuric acid, which, on direct contact, will cause injury and damage.
Wear safety goggles and clothing when working on batteries.
Use a constant voltage auxiliary battery (12 V). Its capacity (Ah) should not be significantly less than the capacity of a discharged battery. The voltage and capacity values are indicated on the batteries.
Use an auxiliary starter cable with insulated pole clamps, with a cross section of at least 16 mm2, for diesel engines - 25 mm2.
Discharged battery do not disconnect from the on-board network.
Disconnect unnecessary current consumers.
Do not lean over the battery during the entire procedure.
The pole clamps of one cable must not touch the clamps of the other.
During the auxiliary start, the vehicles must be stationary.
Apply the parking brake. Shift the manual transmission and Easytronic to neutral, the automatic transmission to P.
Connect the cables in the sequence shown in the figure:
1. Connect the cable to the positive pole 1 of the auxiliary battery (sign «plus» on the battery case or on the terminal).
2. Connect the other end of this cable to the positive pole 2 of the discharged battery (sign «plus»).
3. Connect the second cable to the negative pole 3 of the auxiliary battery (sign «minus»).
4. Connect the other end of the second cable 4 to the ground of another vehicle - for example, connect to the engine block or to the threaded connection of the engine mount.
Do not connect the cable to the negative pole of a discharged battery.
The connection point should be located as far as possible from the discharged battery.
Lay the cables in such a way that they do not touch the rotating parts of the engine compartment.
Start the engine of the car from which current is supplied.
After 5 minutes, start the engine of another car. Start attempts should not last more than 15 s at 1 minute intervals.
After starting both engines, let them idle for about 3 minutes without disconnecting the cables.
To avoid excessive voltages in the electrical system, before disconnecting the cables from the terminals, any consumer of electricity must be switched on (e.g. light, heated rear window) on a powered vehicle.
Remove cables in reverse order.
