6. Connect the other end of the red

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

7. Connect one end of the black

negative (

) cable to the

negative (

) terminal of the good

battery.

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 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.

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 wheel
lift tow truck. A flatbed car carrier
could damage the vehicle. The
wheel lift tow truck must raise the
rear of the vehicle and wheel dollies
must be used to lift the front wheels
off the ground.

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