9. Connect the other end of the negative (

) cable

at least 18 inches (45 cm) 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.

Your vehicle has a remote negative (

) terminal,

marked GND (Ground), for this purpose.

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 your 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.
