After you connect the jumper cables to the batteries:
[ER14600(ALL)04/96] 1. Make sure that the jumper cables are not in the way of
moving engine parts, then start the vehicle that has the
booster battery. Run the engine at a moderate speed.
[ER14700(ALL)01/96] 2. Let the dead battery charge for a few minutes and then start
the vehicle that has the dead battery. If the starter does not
crank, check for good, solid jumper cable clamp attachments.
It may take a couple of tries before your vehicle starts. If
your vehicle does not start after several attempts, you may
have a different mechanical problem.
[ER14800(ALL)04/96] 3. When both vehicles are running, let them idle for a few
minutes to charge the dead battery.

[ER15000(ALL)01/96] 1. Remove the negative (s) end of the jumper cable from the
metallic surface in the engine compartment of the vehicle
that needed a jump-start.
[ER15100(ALL)04/96] 2. Remove the other end of the negative (s) cable from the
booster battery.

[ER15200(ALL)02/96] 3. Remove the positive (+) cable from the booster battery.

After your vehicle is started, let it idle for a while to let the
engine “relearn” its idle conditions and drive it around for a
little while with all electrical accessories turned off, to let the
battery recharge. You may need to use a battery charger to
fully recharge the battery.
