Preparing your vehicle

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the

transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission

may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and

will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the

adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.

1.

Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.

2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could

damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle

making sure the two vehicles

do not

touch. Set the parking brake on

both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other

moving parts.

4. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion

before you attach the battery cables. Ensure that vent caps are tight

and level.

5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect any electrical

surges. Turn all other accessories off.

Connecting the jumper cables

1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of

the discharged battery.

Note:

In the illustrations,

lightning bolts

are used to designate the

assisting (boosting) battery.
