WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-)
post of the discharged battery. The resulting electri-
cal spark could cause the battery to explode and
could result in personal injury. Only use the specific
ground point, do not use any other exposed metal
parts.

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.

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

in the reverse sequence:

Disconnecting The Jumper Cables

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

the remote negative (-) post of the discharged vehicle.

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

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

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

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

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

cable from the remote positive (+) post of the dis-
charged vehicle.

5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote posi-

tive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.

If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle
you should have the battery and charging system tested
at your authorized dealer.
