Is the 12 V battery flat?Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only

Switch the vehicle power OFF for a few minutes, then switch it ON and see if the car goes to READY. Try a few times. If it still won't, switch OFF and check the 12 V battery terminals are tight and clean. Then switch ON: dim headlights or a weak or silent horn mean the battery is flat. After jump-starting, switch ON again and check that READY appears. If the problem continues, go to an authorised Jaecoo service centre immediately.Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only

  1. 1Switch the vehicle power OFF.
  2. 2Connect one end of the positive (+) lead to the + terminal of the flat battery, and the other end to the + terminal of the rescue car's battery.
  3. 3Connect one end of the negative (−) lead to the − terminal of the rescue car's battery, and the other end to a bare (unpainted) metal part of your car.
  4. 4Start the rescue car's engine, raise its engine speed slightly and hold it for about 5 minutes to charge your battery.
  5. 5Start your car. If it still won't start, check the leads are connected properly, then charge the battery.
  6. 6Once your car is running, remove the leads in reverse order – negative first, then positive.

Caution:Only jump-start from a 12–13 V battery.

Caution:Never connect the rescue battery's negative terminal directly to your flat battery's negative terminal.

Caution:Keep the leads away from fans, belts and other moving parts. Make sure the clamps can't touch each other or other metal parts.

Caution:Before switching off or locking the car, turn off all electrical equipment so the battery doesn't go flat.

Caution:If the battery goes flat (frequently), have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
