Removing the Jumper Cables

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

Remove the jumper cables in the reverse order that they were
connected.

1. Remove the jumper cable from
the ground metal surface.

2. Remove the jumper cable on the
negative (-) terminal of the booster
vehicle’s battery.

3. Remove the jumper cable from
the positive (+) terminal of the
booster vehicle’s battery.

4. Remove the jumper cable from
the positive (+) terminal of the
disabled vehicle’s battery.

After the disabled vehicle has been started and the jumper cables
removed, allow it to dwell in Ready to Drive mode for several minutes so
the high-voltage battery can continue to recharge the 12–volt battery.
