6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal location on the vehicle
with the dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect
it to the positive (+) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
8. Now connect the black negative () cable to
the negative () terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative () terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything until
the next step. The other end of the
negative () cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy, unpainted
metal engine part or to a remote negative ()
terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
9. Connect the other end of the negative ()
cable to the negative () terminal location
on the vehicle with the dead battery.
Your vehicle has a remote negative ()
terminal marked GND ().
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for a while.
11. 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 your
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.
