2.4 Jump Starting New vehicles before they have been delivered to the customer
- It is the dealer / retailers responsibility to make sure the battery is not allowed to go flat by following the instructions and processes defined in this service information.
- However, if circumstances dictate that a new vehicle must be jump started due to a flat battery whilst the vehicle is in the dealer / retailers care, the battery on this vehicle must be replaced with a new one prior to delivery to the customer at the dealer / retailers liability.
- The vehicle should also undergo investigation as to why the battery went flat.
- Do not connect the jump starting cable to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. Always connect to the recommended earth point. As defined in the owners handbook or service documentation for that vehicle.
