To Jump Start A Disabled Vehicle:

  1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry, such as watchbands or bracelets, that might make an inadvertent electrical contact.
  2. When boost is provided by a battery in another vehicle, park that vehicle within booster cable reach, but do not allow the vehicles to touch one another.
  3. Set the parking brake, place the automatic transmission in PARK, and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position on both vehicles.
  4. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
  5. Open the terminal cover (4) on the vehicle needing a jump start. Connect one end (1) of the jumper cable to the remote jump-start positive battery post (+) in the engine compartment. Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery. Refer to the illustration for jump-starting connections.
  6. Connect the other cable (3), first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the engine ground (-) (2) of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Make sure you have a good contact on the engine ground. Refer to the illustration for jump-starting connections.
  7. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery. Let the engine idle a few minutes. Then, start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
  8. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts and fan.
WARNING:
  • You should not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing.
  • Do not connect the cable to the negative post of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode.
  • During cold weather when temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode. The battery temperature must be brought above the freezing point before attempting jump-start.
  • Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
