WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Park the booster vehicle within cable reach but without letting the vehicles touch.
Set the parking brake on both vehicles, shift the transmission into PARK and turn
the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Remove the protective cover over the remote jump start positive battery post (+) in
the engine compartment. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the booster battery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the
positive terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not connect the cable to the negative post of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
• Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and
then to the engine ground (-) of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Make sure
you have a good contact on the ground.
• Start the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery; let the engine idle a
few minutes.
• Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
• When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above sequence exactly. Be careful
of the moving belts and fan.
• Reinstall the protective cover over the remote jump-start positive battery post.
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 up
above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
