Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative (

) cable

doesn’t go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal part, or to the remote negative (

)

terminal on the vehicle with the dead battery.

9. Connect the other end of the negative (

) cable

at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead
battery, but not near engine parts that move. The
electrical connection is just as good there, and
the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is
much less.

10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and

run the engine for a while.

11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.

If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.

Notice: Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting if jumper cables are removed
incorrectly. To prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
