Warning Notes For External Power Connection, Jump Lead Starting
- Risk of explosion as a result of electrolytic gas.
- Danger of injury from short circuit.
- Risk of damage to the vehicle's electrical system, e.g. control modules.
- Risk of causticisation.
→ Keep ignition sources away from the battery, e.g. naked flames, lit cigarettes or sparking from wire contact.
→ A frozen battery must always be thawed before connecting just leads.
→ Use only standard jump leads with a sufficiently wide cross section and fully insulated terminal clamps. Observe the cable manufacturer's specifications.
→ Route the jump leads so that they cannot become entangled in moving parts in the engine compartment.
→ No contact is allowed between the vehicles, otherwise electricity could flow as soon as the positive terminal is connected.
