6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal location on the vehicle with the dead
battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to
the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
8. Now connect the black negative (
−
) cable to the
negative (
−
) terminal of the good battery. Use a
remote negative ( − ) terminal 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 a remote
negative (
− ) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative ( − ) cable to
the negative (
−
) terminal location on the vehicle with
the dead battery. Your vehicle has a remote
negative (
−
) ground terminal marked GND (
−
).
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.
