away from the battery and the fuel injection system.
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 engine ground of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
7. Disconnect the negative end
(-)

10. 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.
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the
battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the
charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
