Vehicle Care

The jump start negative grounding
point for the discharged battery is
the engine block or an engine
mounting bolt. Connect to a spot as
far away from the discharged
battery as possible.

1. Check the other vehicle.

It must have a 12-volt battery
with a negative ground system.

Caution

If the other vehicle does not have
a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.

2. Position the two vehicles so

that they are not touching.

To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump starting
procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in P (Park) or a

manual transmission in Neutral
before setting the parking
brake.

Caution

If any accessories are left on or
plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn
off or unplug all accessories on
either vehicle when jump starting.

3. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF

and switch off all lights and
accessories in both vehicles,
except the hazard warning
flashers if needed.

{

Warning

An electric fan can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing, and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.

{

Warning

Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded.
Use a flashlight if you need more
light.

Battery fluid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.

{

Warning

Fans or other moving engine
parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving
parts once the engine is running.

4. Connect the red positive (+)

cable to the remote positive (+)
terminal of the discharged
battery.
