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

3. Connect one jumper cable to the

positive (

+) terminal on your

vehicle's battery. Connect the
other end to the positive (

+)

terminal on the booster battery.

4. Connect the second jumper cable

to the negative (

-) terminal on

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

5. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, have an assistant start that
vehicle and run it at a fast idle.

6. Start your vehicle. If the starter

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

7. 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.

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.
