Jump Starting

If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can freeze.

Attempting to jump start with a frozen

battery can cause it to rupture.

2. Turn off all the electrical acces-

sories: climate control, stereo
system, lights, etc.
Put the transmission in Neutral or
Park and set the parking brake.

3. Connect one jumper cable to the

positive (

+

) terminal on your

Acura's battery. Connect the other

end to the positive (

+

) terminal

on the booster battery.

4. Connect the second jumper cable

to the negative ( — ) terminal on
the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the ground wire on
the right side of the engine as
shown. Do not connect this jumper
cable to any other part of the
engine.

5. If the booster battery is in another

vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.
