8. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper
cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

9. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from
the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

10. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote posi-
tive (+) battery post of the discharged vehicle.

If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle
you should have the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle
power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS — IF EQUIPPED

If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, there will be
one in the rear and two mounted on the front of the
vehicle. The rear hook will be located on the driver’s side
of the vehicle.

NOTE:

For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use

both of the front tow hooks to minimize the risk of
damage to the vehicle.

WARNING!

Chains are not recommended for freeing a stuck

vehicle. Chains may break, causing serious injury
or death.

Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow

hooks. Tow straps and chains may break, causing
serious injury.
