Vehicle Care
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
1. Connect the red positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal (1) of the ELR. Do not
let the other end of the cable
touch metal.
2. Connect the other end of the
red positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the
other vehicle.
3. Connect the black negative (

jumper cable to the negative
(

vehicle battery. Do not let the
other end touch anything until
the next step.

initializes, the ELR will use
power from the high voltage
battery to charge the 12-volt
battery. The jumper cables can
then be disconnected. If the
ELR does not start, call your
dealer or Roadside Service.
