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.

Your vehicle has a remote
negative (

) terminal for this

purpose.

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 will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.

Notice:

If the jumper cables are

connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct
order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other
or other metal.
