3. Connect the positive (red) cable between the positive (red)
terminal of the donor battery and the jump start terminal of the
recipient vehicle (A).
4. Connect the negative (black) cable between the negative (black)
terminal of the donor battery and a good earth (negative) point
in the recipient engine bay (i.e. alternator mounting bracket).
5. Start the donor vehicle engine and run at about 1500 –
2000 rpm.
6. Start the engine of the recipient vehicle.
7. Once both vehicles are running remove the jump start cables,
first the negative (black) cable from both vehicles and then the
positive (red) cable from both vehicles.
Allow the recipient engine to run until the discharged battery is
sufficiently recharged (15 to 20 minutes) to start the engine
without assistance. Set the engine to OFF and restart the engine.
Take the vehicle on a long run to fully charge the battery.
Contact your Aston Martin Dealer to have the battery checked
or replaced.
Recharge time will depend on the initial ‘state of health’ of
discharged battery.
If this vehicle will not start consult your Aston Martin Dealer.
Vehicle Battery
Warning: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
Warning: Do not allow flames, sparks or lighted substances to
come near the battery. Batteries normally produce explosive
gases which can cause personal injury. When working near the
battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always
have sufficient ventilation.
Warning: When lifting a plastic cased battery, excessive
pressure on the end walls could cause acid to flow through the
vent caps, resulting in personal injury, damage to the vehicle or
battery. Lift the battery with a battery carrier or with your hands
on opposite corners.
Warning: Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Warning: Batteries contain sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when working near the
battery to protect against possible splashing of acid solution. In
case of acid contact with skin or eyes, flush immediately with
water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical
attention. If acid is swallowed, get medical help immediately.
