Nissan Juke 2022-present Owners Manual
Jump Jump starting
Incorrect jump-starting can lead to a battery explosion. The battery explosion may result in severe injury or death. It may also result in damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the instructions in this section.
Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and flames away from the battery.
Always wear suitable eye protection glasses and remove rings, bracelets, and any other jewellery whenever working on or near a battery.
Never lean over the battery while jump-starting.
Never allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle's painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corrosive sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns. If the fluid comes into contact with anything, immediately flush the contacted area with plenty of water.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an incorrectly rated battery will damage your vehicle.
Never attempt to jump-start a frozen battery. It could explode and cause serious injury.
Check if the parking brake is applied.
If not, after connecting the vehicle with the booster battery (after step 8), apply the parking brake.
The vehicle has an electric parking brake, for more information, see
.Prepare vehicle (A) with the booster battery for the vehicle (B) being jump-started.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
Shift the shift lever (MT models) into the N (Neutral) position (Automatic (DCT), move the shift lever to the P (Park) position).
Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems (headlights, hazard lights, etc.).
Ensure that the ignition switch of the vehicle being jump-started is in the LOCK position.
Open the bonnet. For details, see
.Remove the vent caps (where fitted) on the battery and cover the battery with a cloth or rag.
Connect the jump leads in the sequence ((1) → (2) → (3) → (4)) as illustrated.
Always connect positive ⊕ to positive ⊕ and negative ⊖ to negative ⊖.
An incorrect connection could damage the charging system.
Be sure that the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment.
Be careful not to allow contact between the positive jump lead connector and the vehicle or the negative lead during connection and disconnection.
Start the engine of the other vehicle (A) and let it run for a few minutes. Keep the engine speed at about 2,000 rpm.
Start the engine of your vehicle (B) in the normal way.
Do not keep the starter motor engaged for more than 10 seconds. If the engine does not start immediately, turn the ignition switch to “OFF” and wait 10 seconds before trying again.
After starting the engine of your vehicle, carefully disconnect the negative lead and then the positive lead ((4) → (3) → (2) → (1)).
Remove and dispose of the cloth that was used to cover the vent holes as it may be contaminated with corrosive acid.
Install the vent caps (where fitted).
Close the bonnet.
For models which incorporate the Stop/Start System:
Ensure that the battery fitted is the special battery that is enhanced with regard to the charge-discharge capacity and life performance. Avoid using any other battery for the Stop/Start System, as this may cause early deterioration of the battery or a malfunction of the Stop/Start System. It is recommended that a Genuine NISSAN battery is fitted. For more information, contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
If the battery terminal is disconnected (for battery replacement, etc.) and then reconnected, there may be some delay before the Stop/Start System reactivates.
