Use jump leads to start a vehicle with
a weak or discharged battery.

your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on
another vehicle, check that two vehicles
do not touch each other. Set the park-
ing brakes fully on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
