Starting the engine
Never use spray fluids to start the engine.
1. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and
let it run for several minutes at an increased
idle speed.

run for approx. 10 minutes.

in the usual way.
If the first starting attempt is not successful,
wait a few minutes before making another
attempt in order to allow the discharged battery
to recharge.

4. Disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
order.
