Start the vehicle. If the starter
motor still operates slowly, check
that the jumper cables have good
metal-to-metal contact.

If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.

The numbers in the illustration
show you the order to connect the
jumper cables.

Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (

) terminal on your

battery. Connect the other end to
the positive (

) terminal on the

booster battery.

Once the vehicle is running,
disconnect the negative cable from
your vehicle, then from the
booster battery. Disconnect the
positive cable from your vehicle,
and then from the booster battery.

Install the battery terminal cover.

Keep the ends of the jumper cables
away from each other and any metal
on the vehicle until everything is
disconnected. Otherwise, you may
cause an electrical short.

Connect the second jumper cable
to the negative (

) terminal on

the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the grounding point
as shown. Do not connect this
jumper cable to any other part of
the engine.
