Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or frozen, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.
To jump start your vehicle:
The numbers in the illustration show
the order to connect the jumper
cable.
Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (
) terminal on your
battery. Connect the other end to
the positive (
) terminal on the
booster battery.
You cannot start your vehicle with an
automatic transmission by pushing
or pulling it. Turn off all the electrical
accessories: climate control, audio
system, lights, etc. Put the
transmission in neutral (manual)
or Park (automatic), and set the
parking brake.
