4. Set the parking brake firmly on the other
vehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”
(PARK) or the manual transaxle in “N”
(Neutral).
5. Turn the ignition switch (the engine
switch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” or
“OFF” position.
6. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at
the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on
page 9-10.)
7. Connect one end of one jumper cable
to the positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery (A), and then connect the
other end to the positive (+) terminal
of the booster battery (B).
8. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and then connect the
other end to the designated ground
location of the vehicle with the discharged
battery (A) at the point farthest from the
battery.
9. Start the engine in the vehicle providing
the boost. Let the engine idle a few min-
utes, then start the engine in the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
10. After the engine is started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order from the way
you connected them.
NOTE
Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
WARNING
If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMP
STARTING!!
The battery might split open or explode if
the temperature is below the freezing
point or if it is not filled to the proper
level.
WARNING
Make sure that the jumper cables and
your clothing are clear of the cooling fans
and drive belts. Entanglement with the
fans or belts can cause serious personal
injury.
NOTE
Open the terminal cover before connecting
the jumper cable to the positive terminal of
the battery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 9-10.)
Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could
result.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the proper order when
connecting the batteries, of:
Make sure that the connection is made
to the correct designated location (as
shown in the illustration) properly. If the
connection is directly made to the negative
(-) terminal of the battery, the flammable
gases from inside the battery might catch
fire and explode, causing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do not
connect the positive (+) cable to the nega-
tive (-) terminal. Sparks can make the bat-
tery explode.
