Connecting the Jumper Cables

terminal of the other vehicle
with the run-down battery. Use
a remote positive (+) terminal if
available. Do not let the other
end touch metal.

red positive (+) jumper cable to
the positive (+) battery terminal
of the ELR.
3. Connect the black negative (

jumper cable to the negative

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