Notice: Your vehicle uses the
unpainted radio antenna bracket
as a remote negative (−) terminal.
Move the antenna coax cable out
of the way before clamping the
negative jumper cable to the fixed
antenna bracket. Avoid touching
the negative cable clamp to the
air conditioning line. Failure to do
either of these could damage
your vehicle. The repairs would
not be covered by the warranty.
9. Now start the vehicle with the
good battery and run the engine
for a while.
10. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it
probably needs service.
Notice: If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct
order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other
or other metal.
