Warning

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

6. Check that the jumper cables do not

have loose or missing insulation. If they
do, you could get a shock. The vehicles
could be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables, here are
some basic things you should know.
Positive (+) will go to positive (+) or to a
remote positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one. Negative (

) will go to a

heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to
a remote negative (

) terminal if the

vehicle has one.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative
(

) or you will get a short that would

damage the battery and maybe other
parts too. And do not connect the
negative (

) cable to the negative (

)

terminal on the dead battery because
this can cause sparks.

7. Connect one end of the red positive (+)

cable to the discharged battery
positive (+) terminal.

8. Do not let the other end touch metal.

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

9. Connect one end of the black negative

(

) cable to the good battery negative

(

) terminal. Use a remote negative (

)

terminal if the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything
until the next step.

10. Connect the other end of the negative

(

) cable to the discharged battery

negative (

) grounding point.

11. Start the vehicle with the good battery

and run the engine for a while.

12. Try to start the vehicle that had the

dead battery. If it will not start after a
few tries, it probably needs service.

Caution

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

(Continued)

Caution (Continued)

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.

After starting the disabled vehicle and
removing the jumper cables, allow it to idle
for several minutes.

Towing the Vehicle

Caution

Incorrectly transporting a disabled vehicle
may cause damage to the vehicle. Use
proper tire straps to secure the vehicle to
the flatbed tow truck. Do not strap or
hook to any frame, underbody,
or suspension component not specified
below. Do not move vehicles with drive
axle tires on the ground. Damage is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
