4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negati
ve (-) post of the discharged bat-
tery. The resulting electrical spark could cause
the battery to explode and could result in per-
sonal injury. Only use the specific ground point,
do not use any other exposed metal parts.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster
battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then
start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper
cables in the reverse sequence:
6. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the
remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
7. Disconnect the neg ative end (-) of the jumper cable
from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
8. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
9. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable
from the remote positive (+) post of the discharged
vehicle.
10. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote
positive (+) battery post of the discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your
vehicle, you should have the battery and charging
system inspected at your authorized dealer.
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s bat-
tery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough
without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
