2. Make sure the booster battery is
12 Volts and that the negative terminal
is grounded.
3. Make sure the engine of the vehicle
with the booster battery is OFF and all
unnecessary electrical loads in both
vehicles.
Warning!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other
as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could
result.
4. Connect the positive end of the
jumper cable to the positive terminal on
the discharged battery.
5. Connect the opposite end of the
positive jumper cable to the positive
terminal on the booster battery.
6. Connect the negative end of the
negative jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery.
7. Connect the opposite end of the
negative jumper cable to a good engine
ground of the vehicle with the
discharged battery (exposed metal part
of the engine) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system.
8. Start the engine of the booster
vehicle and run it a few minutes. Then
start the engine of the other vehicle.
9. Once the engine is started, remove
the jumper cables in the reverse
sequence.
10. Replace the positive terminal cover.
Make sure cover is secure.
Bump Starting
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.
Note:
You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transmission by pushing it.
Do not push-start a vehicle that has
a manual transmission. It can damage
the emission control system.
Starting A Flooded
Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within
5 seconds on the first try, wait
10 seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Press the accelerator all the way and
hold it there.
4. Press the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission), then push the
STOP/START button. If the engine
starts, release the accelerator
immediately because the engine will
suddenly rev up.
5. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without pressing the accelerator.
If the engine still does not start using
the above procedure, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized dealer.
