Vehicle Care

9. Connect the other end of the

negative (

) cable at least 45 cm

(18 in) 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.

Jumper Cable Removal

Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.

Towing

Towing the Vehicle

Notice:

Incorrectly towing a

disabled vehicle may cause
damage. The damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not lash or hook to
the chassis components
including the front and rear
subframes, suspension control
arms and links during towing and
recovery of a disabled vehicle or
to secure the vehicle to a flatbed
car carrier. Use the proper nylon
strap harnesses around the tires
to secure the flatbed car carrier.

Have the vehicle towed on a flatbed
car carrier or a wheel lift tow truck.
If a wheel lift tow truck is used, the
drive wheels cannot contact the
road while the vehicle is being
towed. A wheel dolly must be used
to lift all drive wheels off the ground.

Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
