6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables

in the reverse sequence:

Disconnecting The Jumper Cables

1. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the

remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the dis-

charged battery.

2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable

from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.

3. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper

cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.

4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable

from the remote positive (+) post of the discharged

vehicle.

5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive

(+)

battery post of the discharged vehicle.

If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle,

you should have the battery and charging system in-

spected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories 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 without engine operation,
the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to
degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
