Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the two
vehicles do not touch.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNINGS
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.
Do not use fuel lines, engine valve
covers, windshield wiper arms, the
intake manifold, or hood latch as ground
points.
Note: Your vehicle has two battery prongs
that are accessible from under the hood,
even though the actual battery is located in
the trunk. You can jump start your vehicle
the same way conventional vehicles can be
using these prongs.
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.
