WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Jump Starting Procedure
Failure to follow this jump-starting procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system
of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

Connecting The Jumper Cables

1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle's engine) away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result
in serious injury. Only use the specific ground point, do not use any other exposed
metal parts.

few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
