1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Make sure the booster battery is 12 V

and that its negative terminal is
grounded.

3. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, do not allow both vehicles to
touch. Turn off the engine of the
vehicle with the booster battery and all
unnecessary electrical loads in both
vehicles.

4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact

sequence as in the illustration.



Connect one end of a cable to the
positive terminal on the discharged
battery (1).



Attach the other end to the positive
terminal on the booster battery (2).



Connect one end of the other cable
to the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3).



Connect the other end to the ground
point indicated in the illustration
away from the discharged battery
(4).

5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle

and run it a few minutes. Then start the
engine of the other vehicle.

6.

(With i-ELOOP system)

The i-ELOOP indicator light may flash
after the engine is started. The
indicator light turns off when the
engine is running and the charging is
completed. Make sure the i-ELOOP
indicator light is turns off before
driving.
 

NOTE



If the vehicle is driven with the
i-ELOOP indicator light flashing, a
beep sound is heard.



If the steering wheel is operated with
the i-ELOOP indicator light
flashing, it may feel heavier than
normal, however, this does not
indicate a malfunction. The steering
operation will return to normal when
the i-ELOOP indicator light turns
off.



Do not remove the jumper cables
while the i-ELOOP indicator light is
flashing.

7. When finished, carefully disconnect

the cables in the reverse order
described in the illustration.

8. If the battery cover has been removed,

install it in the reverse order of
removal.

NOTE

Verify that the covers are securely
installed.
