If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.

Connect the second jumper cable
to the negative (

) terminal on

the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the grounding strap
as shown. Do not connect this
jumper cable to any other part of
the engine.

Start your car. If the starter motor
still operates slowly, check the
jumper cable connections to make
sure they have good metal-to-
metal contact.

Once your car is running, discon-
nect the negative cable from your
car, then from the booster battery.
Disconnect the positive cable from
your car, then the booster battery.

Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (

) terminal on your

Honda’s battery. Connect the
other end to the positive (

)

terminal on the booster battery.
