Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the two
vehicles do not touch.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNING: Do not connect the end
of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped. A
spark may cause an explosion of the gases
that surround the battery.
WARNING: Do not use fuel lines,
engine valve covers, windshield wiper
arms, the intake manifold, or hood latch as
ground points.
Note: Do not attach the end of the positive
cable to the studs or L-shaped eyelet located
above the positive (+) terminal of your
vehicle’s battery. High current may flow
through and cause damage to the fuses.
Note: To avoid reverse polarity connections,
make sure that you correctly identify the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both
the disabled and booster vehicles before
connecting the cables.
Note: Remove the red cap from the positive
prong (B) on your vehicle before connecting
the cables.
