1. Good Battery Positive (+)

Terminal

2. Good Battery Negative (

)

Terminal

3. Discharged Battery Negative (

)

Grounding Point

4. Discharged Battery Positive (+)

Terminal

The good battery positive (+) terminal
and the good battery negative (

)

terminal are on the battery of the
vehicle providing the jump start.

The discharged battery positive (+)
terminal and the discharged battery
negative (

) grounding point are on

the passenger side of the vehicle.

The discharged battery positive (+)
terminal is under a cover. Open the
cover to expose the terminal.

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. If you have a vehicle with a diesel

engine with two batteries, you
should know before you begin that,
especially in cold weather, you may
not be able to get enough power
from a single battery in another
vehicle to start your diesel engine.
If your vehicle has more than one
battery, using the battery that is
closer to the starter will reduce
electrical resistance. This is located
on the passenger side, in the rear
of the engine compartment.

3. Get the vehicles close enough so

the jumper cables can reach, but be
sure the vehicles are not touching
each other. If they are, it could
cause an unwanted ground
connection. You would not be able
to start your vehicle, and the bad
grounding could damage the
electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start
procedure. Put the automatic
transmission in P (Park) before
setting the parking brake. If you
have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, be
sure the transfer case is in a drive
gear, not in N (Neutral).

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.
