8. Now connect the

negative (

) cable to the

negative (

) terminal

of the good battery. Use
a remote negative (

)

terminal if the vehicle
has one.

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.
