Jump Starting
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can freeze.
Attempting to jump start with a frozen
battery can cause it to rupture.
2. Turn off all the electrical acces-
sories: climate control, stereo
system, lights, etc.
Put the transmission in Neutral or
Park and set the parking brake.
3. Connect one jumper cable to the
positive ( + ) terminal on your
Acura's battery. Connect the other
end to the positive ( + ) terminal
on the booster battery.
4. Connect the second jumper cable
to the negative ( — ) terminal on
the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the ground wire on
the right side of the engine as
shown. Do not connect this jumper
cable to any other part of the
engine.
5. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.
