Warning! Use only special cables for starting the engine from an external power source.
Warning! At temperatures below 0°C, a discharged battery may freeze, so it must be gradually warmed up before starting (for example, in a warm room). Otherwise, the battery may explode when you try to start the engine.
Jump starting the engine from another car's battery
1. Position the vehicles so that their batteries are as close to each other as possible and the cable length is sufficient.
2. Connect the red wire to the "+" terminal of the charged battery (on the donor car).
3. Connect the other end of the red wire to the "+" terminal of your car's battery.
4. Connect the black wire to the "-" terminal of the charged battery (on the donor vehicle).
5. Connect the other end of the black wire to the engine block. Check the connection reliability.
Warning! Do not connect the black wire to the negative terminal of a dead battery to avoid strong sparking and, as a result, an explosion of gas emitted by the battery.
6. Start the engine of the donor car.
7. Try starting your car's engine. If the engine does not start, wait approximately 30 seconds and try starting again. After the engine starts, let it idle for a few minutes.
8. Stop the engine of the donor car and disconnect the wires in reverse order.
Starting the engine using a battery charger
Caution! Different battery chargers and jump starters have different designs, so please strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for use with your specific device.
1. Turn the charger to the START position in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Connect the wires of the charger-starter to the terminals of the battery, observing the polarity.
3. Turn on the charger and jumper.
4. Start the engine. After the engine has started, first turn off the charger and then disconnect its wires from the battery terminals.
