Range Rover Evoque: Starting a disabled vehicle using booster cables
Rotating parts of the engine
can cause
serious injury. Take extreme care
when working near rotating parts of
the engine.
Before attempting to start the disabled
vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is applied, or suitably chock the
wheels. Make sure that Park is
selected or the manual gearbox is in
neutral.
Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
Never jump start (boost), charge, or
try to start a vehicle with a frozen
battery. Doing so can result in an
explosion.
During normal use, batteries emit
explosive gas sufficient to cause
severe explosions and capable of
causing serious injury - keep sparks
and naked lights away from the engine
compartment.
Make sure there is no
physical contact
between the donor and disabled
vehicles other than the booster cables.
Make sure that the slave battery or
starting aid is a 12 volt device.
Disconnect the booster cables prior to
operating any electrical equipment.
Note: Before connecting booster cables ensure that the battery connections on the disabled vehicle are correct and that all electrical equipment has been switched off.
1. Connect the positive (Red) booster cable to the positive (+) terminal on the donor vehicle's battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive booster cable to the positive (+) terminal on the discharged battery.
3. Connect the negative (Black) booster cable to the recommended jump starting earth point of the donor vehicle.
4. Connect the other end of the negative booster cable to the earth point indicated.
Note: Check that all cables are clear of any moving components and that all four connections are secure.
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.
Note: Do not switch on any electrical circuits of the disabled vehicle until after the booster cables are removed.
7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.
8. Switch off the donor vehicle.
9. Disconnect the negative (Black) booster cable from the previously disabled vehicle.
10. Disconnect the negative (Black) booster cable from the donor vehicle.
11. Disconnect the positive (Red) booster cable from the previously discharged battery.
12. Disconnect the positive (Red) booster cable from the donor vehicle.
