Vehicle Care

10-73

9. Connect the other end of the

negative (−) cable at least 45 cm
(18 in) away from the dead
battery, but not near engine
parts that move.

The electrical connection is just
as good there, and the chance
of sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.

10. Now start the vehicle with the

good battery and run the
engine for a while.

11. 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.
