8. Now 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 a remote negative (
−
)
terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
9. Connect the other
end of the
negative (
−
) cable at
least 18 inches
(45 cm) away from
the dead battery,
but not near engine
parts that move.
The electrical connection is just as good
there, and the chance of sparks getting back
to the battery is much less.
Your vehicle has a remote negative (
−
)
terminal for this purpose.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for a while.
11. 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 your
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.
