Access to the battery

Starting using another

battery

If the vehicle's battery is ﬂat, the engine can be

started using a backup battery (either external or

from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a

battery booster.

12 V battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.

Procedure for starting the engine using another

battery or charging a discharged battery.

Lead-acid starter batteries

These batteries contain harmful

substances (sulphuric acid and lead).

They must be disposed of in accordance

with regulations and must never under any

circumstances be discarded with household

waste.

Never start the engine by connecting a

battery charger.

Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.

Check beforehand that the backup battery

has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity

at least equal to that of the discharged

battery.

The two vehicles must not be in contact with

each other.

Switch oﬀ all electricity-consuming equipment

on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,

lighting, etc.).

Make sure that the jump leads are well away

from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,

etc.).
