• Connect the opposite end of the negative
(-)
jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and the
fuel injection system.
WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the negative post
(-)
of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
• 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:
• Disconnect the negative
(-)
jumper cable from the engine ground of the vehicle with
the discharged battery.
• Disconnect the negative end
(-)
of the jumper cable from the negative
(-)
post of the
booster battery.
• Disconnect the opposite end of the positive
(+)
jumper cable from the positive
(+)
post of the booster battery.
• Disconnect the positive
(+)
end of the jumper cable from the positive
(+)
post of the
discharged vehicle.
• Reinstall the air intake duct.
• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the
vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
