Problems on the Road
. . . 232
CAUTION
Check that the jumper cables
don’t have any loose or missing
insulation. If they do, you could
get a shock and the vehicles
could be damaged.
CAUTION
When connecting the cable,
make sure it is not near any
engine parts that will move.
Otherwise, you could be
injured or your vehicle could be
damaged.
4. Connect the positive (+) (red)
cable to the positive (+) termi-
nal on the charged battery.
Use the remote positive (+) ter-
minal if the vehicle has one.
5. Connect the other end of the
positive (+) (red) cable to the
positive (+) terminal on the
discharged battery.
6. Now take the negative (-)
(black) cable. First connect it
to the good battery's nega-
tive (-) terminal. Use the
remote negative (-) terminal if
the vehicle has one. Don't let
the other end touch metal yet.
CAUTION
Do not connect the negative (-)
cable to the negative (-) termi-
nal on the dead battery because
this can cause sparks.
The battery could even
explode.
Serious personal injury or vehi-
cle damage can result.
