Acura 2003 MDX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 374)

Start your vehicle. If the starter
motor still operates slowly, check
the jumper cable connections to
make sure they have good metal-
to-metal contact.
Once your vehicle is running,
disconnect the negative cable from
your vehicle, then from the
booster battery. Disconnect the
positive cable from your vehicle,
then the booster battery.
Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (
) terminal on your
Acura’s battery. Connect the other
end to the positive (
) terminal
on the booster battery.
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.
The numbers in the illustration show
you the order to connect the jumper
cables.
If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle. 5.
