7. Connect one end of the black

negative (

) cable to the

negative (

) terminal of the good

battery (C). 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.

8. Connect the other end of the

black negative (

) cable to an

unpainted heavy metal engine
part (D) away from the dead
battery, but not near engine
parts that move.

9. Start the engine in the vehicle

with the good battery and run
the engine at idle speed for at
least four minutes.

10. 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.
