Jump Starting
Although this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precautions.
To Jump Start Your Vehicle:
1. Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or frozen, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.
A battery can explode if you do
not follow the correct procedure,
seriously injuring anyone
nearby.
If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can freeze.
Attempting to jump start with a frozen
battery can cause it to rupture.
Keep all sparks, open flames,
and smoking materials away
from the battery.

you the order to connect the jumper
cables.
2. Turn off all the electrical acces-
sories: heater, A/C, climate
control, audio system, lights, etc.
Put the transmission in Park, and
set the parking brake.
You cannot start your vehicle by
pushing or pulling it.
3. Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (＋) terminal on your
battery. Connect the other end to
the positive (＋) terminal on the
booster battery.

Jump Starting
5. If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.
6. Start your vehicle. If the starter
motor still operates slowly, check
that the jumper cables have good
metal-to-metal contact.
7. Once your vehicle is running,
disconnect the negative cable from
your vehicle, then from the
booster battery. Disconnect the
positive cable from your vehicle,
then from the booster battery.
4. Connect the second jumper cable
to the negative (－) terminal on
the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the stud bolt on the
engine side as shown. Do not
connect this jumper cable to any
other part of the engine.
Keep the ends of the jumper cables
away from each other and any metal
on the vehicle until everything is
disconnected. Otherwise, you may
cause an electrical short.
