9. Now connect the black
negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal of the good
battery. Use a remote negative (−)
terminal if the vehicle has one. Do
not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative (−)
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to your vehicle's
remote negative (−) terminal. The
electrical connection is just as
good there, and the chance of
sparks getting back to the battery
is much less.
10. Try to start the hybrid vehicle.
Notice: If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do not
touch each other or other metal.
