Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or frozen, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.
Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (
) terminal on your
battery. Connect the other end to
the positive (
) terminal on the
booster battery.
The numbers in the illustration show
you the order to connect the jumper
cables.
You cannot start your vehicle by
pushing or pulling it.
Turn off all the electrical acces-
sories: heater, A/C, stereo system,
lights, etc. Put the transmission in
Park, and set the parking brake.
