Connecting the jumper cables

Note: In the illustration, the vehicle on the bottom is used to designate
the assisting (boosting) battery.

1. Connect the positive (+) jumper
cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery.

2. Connect the other end of the
positive (+) cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the assisting battery.

3. Connect the negative (-) cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the
assisting battery.

4. Make the final connection of the
negative (-) cable to the jump
starting stud located in the engine
compartment, near the washer fluid
bottle.

Note: Do not attach the negative (-) cable to fuel lines, engine rocker
covers, the intake manifold or electrical components as grounding points.

WARNING: Do not connect the end of the second cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may

cause an explosion of the gases that surround the battery.

Ensure that the cables are clear of fan blades, belts, moving parts of both
engines, or any fuel delivery system parts.
