Acura 2007 MDX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 431)

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.
Once the vehicle is running,
disconnect the negative cable from
the engine hanger on your vehicle,
then from the booster battery.
Disconnect the positive cable from
your vehicle, then from the
booster battery.
Start your vehicle. If the starter
motor still operates slowly, check
that the jumper cables have good
metal-to-metal contact.
If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.
Connect the second jumper cable
to the negative (
) terminal on
the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the engine hanger as
shown. Do not connect this jumper
cable to any other part of the
engine.
The numbers in the illustration show
you the order to connect the jumper
cables.
Connect one jumper cable to the
positive (
) terminal on your
vehicle’s battery. Connect the
other end to the positive (
)
terminal on the booster battery.
