negative (

) terminal on the

dead battery because this can
cause sparks.

6. Connect the red positive (+)

cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the dead battery.

Use a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle has one.

7. Do not let the other end touch

metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.

8. Now connect the black

negative (

) cable to the

negative (

) terminal of the

good battery. Use a remote
negative (

) terminal if the

vehicle has one.

Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.
The other end of the
negative (

) cable does not go

to the dead battery. It goes to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine
part, or to a remote negative (

)

terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.

9. Connect the other end of the

negative (

) cable to the

remote negative (

) terminal of

the dead battery.

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.

Caution

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.
