8. Do not let the other end touch

metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) if the vehicle
has one.

9. Now connect the black

negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
negative (−) if the vehicle
has one.

Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative (−)
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
to the remote negative (−)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.

10. Connect the other end of the

negative (−) cable to the
remote negative (−) terminal,
on the vehicle with the dead
battery.

11. Now start the vehicle with the

good battery and run the
engine for a while.

12. Try to start the vehicle that had

the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.

Notice: If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct
order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other or
other metal.
