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.

vehicle that had the dead battery.
