Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
• Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle

with the discharged battery.

• Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the

booster battery.

• Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+) post of

the booster battery.

• Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post of

the discharged vehicle.

• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and

charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system

voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of

the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the

vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
