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

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 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 your 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.
