Jump-Starting
1. Make sure that the jumper cables are not in
the way of moving engine parts, then start the
booster vehicle. Run the engine at a moderate
speed.
2. Let the discharged battery charge for a few
minutes and then start the disabled vehicle. It
may take a couple of tries before the vehicle
starts. If the vehicle does not start after several
attempts, there may be a different problem.
3. When both vehicles are running, let them idle
for a few minutes to charge the discharged
battery.
Removing jumper cables
1. Always remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order. Remove the negative (s) end
of the jumper cable from the metallic surface
on the engine or frame of the disabled vehicle.
2. Remove the negative (s) cable from the
booster battery.
3. Remove the positive (+) cable from the booster
battery.
4. Remove the other end of the positive (+) cable
from the discharged battery.
After the vehicle is started, let it idle for a while to
let the engine “relearn” its idle conditions. Drive it
around for a while with all electrical accessories
turned off to let the battery recharge. Driveability
may be deteriorated slightly until all drive modes
are “relearned.” You may need to use a battery
charger to fully recharge the battery.
If you need to replace your battery, see Battery in
the Maintenance and Care chapter.
