Handling the Unexpected
Jump Starting Procedure
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the
engine, then open the hood.
Jump Starting
1. Connect the first jumper cable to your
vehicle's battery
terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the first jumper
cable to the assisting vehicle's
terminal.
Use a 12-volt booster battery only.
WARNING
A battery can explode if you do not follow
the correct procedure, seriously injuring
anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking
materials away from the battery.
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be
careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or
detaching the jumper cables.
Battery performance degrades in cold conditions
and may prevent the engine from starting.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the
assisting vehicle's
terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable:
Engine mounting bolt
Do not connect this jumper cable to any
other part of the engine.
5. If your vehicle is connected to another
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle's engine
and increase its rpm slightly.
6. Attempt to start your vehicle's engine. If
it turns over slowly, check that the jumper
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
