Vehicle Care
Do not connect positive (+) to
negative (
−
) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts
too. And do not connect the
negative (
−
) cable to the
negative (
−
) terminal on the dead
battery because this can cause
sparks.
7. Connect the red positive (+)
cable to the positive (+) terminal
of the vehicle with the dead
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
8. Do not let the other end touch
metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
9. Connect the black negative (
−
)
cable to the negative (
−
) terminal
of the good battery. Use a
remote negative (
−
) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative (
−
)
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
to the remote negative (
−
)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
10. Connect the other end of the
negative (
−
) cable to the
remote negative (
−
) terminal on
the vehicle with the dead
battery.
11. Start the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine for a
while.
12. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
Notice:
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.
