Vehicle Care

6. Connect the red positive (+)

cable to the positive (+) terminal
of 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 the remote negative (−)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.

9. Connect the other end of the

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

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.
