Connecting jumper cables

Jump starting procedure

1. Make sure the booster battery is 12-

volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.

2. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.

3. Turn off all unnecessary electrical

loads.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact

sequence shown in the previous illus-
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive terminal of
the discharged battery (1), then con-
nect the other end to the positive ter-
minal on the booster battery (2).

5. Proceed to connect one end of the

other jumper cable to the negative ter-
minal of the booster battery (3), then
the other end to a solid, stationary,
metallic point (for example, the engine
lifting bracket) away from the battery
(4). Do not connect it to or near any
part that moves when the engine is
cranked. Do not connect the jumper
cable from the negative terminal of the
booster battery to the negative termi-
nal of the discharged battery.

Connect cables in numerical order and disconnect in reverse order.
