Siehe Abschnitt (or: Kapitel) 13 in diesem Handbuch
Explanation:
Or
Vergleiche Kapitel (Abschnitt) 13 in diesem Handbuch.

If Sec. 13 is more like a chapter in a book (as is often the case in US manuals), you should us "Kapitel" rather than Abschnitt.

Siehe can be abbreviated to s.
Vergleiche can be abbreviated to vgl.

However, a German sentence should not start with an abbreviation, so you should abbreviate only if the phrase you give above is part of a sentence and occurs somewhere in the middle or towards the end.
