Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative cable doesn’t go to
the dead battery. It goes to a heavy unpainted metal
part on the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.
10. Attach the cable at least 18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery, but not near engine parts that
move. The electrical connection is just as good
there, but the chance of sparks getting back to the
battery is much less.
11. If the SECURITY light flashes, leave the ignition to ON
and wait until the light stops flashing. Turn the ignition
to OFF for three seconds then start the vehicle with the
good battery and run the engine for a while.
12. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery.
If it won’t start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
13. Remove the cables in reverse order to prevent
electrical shorting. Take care that they don’t touch
each other or any other metal.
