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

discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the

Only use the specific ground point, do not use any other exposed metal parts.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,
and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
