keep sparks and naked lights away from the engine compartment.
^
DO NOT attempt to start the disabled vehicle if it is suspected that the electrolyte in the battery is frozen.
^
Suitable eye protection must be worn when working in the vicinity of the battery.

CAUTION:
^
Ensure that all electrical loads are switched OFF prior to connecting booster cables and disconnect booster cables prior to using electrical
equipment.
^
Ensure that the battery of the DONOR vehicle is of 12 volt capacity and that all electrical loads on the disabled vehicle are switched OFF
prior to connecting booster cables.
^
Ensure that there is no physical contact between the donor and disabled vehicles other than the booster cables.
NOTE: Disconnect battery: If the remote control handset is not functioning, it will be necessary to manually unlock the vehicle using the key.

3. Connect one end of the Black (-) booster cable to the Ground (-) battery terminal of the DONOR vehicle.
4. Connect the other end of the Black (-) booster cable to a good earth point e.g. unpainted metal surface or engine mounting at least 0.5 m (20.0 in)
from the battery or fuel lines on the DISABLED vehicle.
5. Start the engine of the DONOR vehicle and allow it to idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the engine of the DISABLED vehicle.
