Connect the second jumper cable
to the negative (

) terminal on

the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the engine mounting
bolt (automatic) or the
transmission mounting bolt
(manual), as shown. Do not
connect this jumper cable to any
other part of the engine.

If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.

Start the vehicle. If the starter
motor still operates slowly, check
that the jumper cables have good
metal-to-metal contact.

Once your vehicle is running,
disconnect the negative cable from
your vehicle, then from the
booster battery. Disconnect the
positive cable from your vehicle,
then from the booster battery.

Keep the ends of the jumper
cables away from each other and
any metal on the vehicle until
everything is disconnected.
Otherwise, you may cause an
electrical short.
