318 Vehicle Care
6. Check that the jumper cables do not
have loose or missing insulation. If they
do, you could get a shock. The vehicles
could be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables, here are
some basic things you should know.
Positive (+) will go to positive (+) or to a
remote positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one. Negative ( ) will go to
the vehicle frame or the battery negative
( ) under the battery cover.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative
( ) or you will get a short that would
damage the battery and maybe other
parts too.
7. Remove the battery cover (2) by
disengaging the battery cover retaining
straps (1).
8. Connect one end of the red positive (+)
cable to the discharged batteries remote
positive (+) terminal.
9. Do not let the other end touch metal.
Connect it to the good battery
positive (+) terminal. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle
has one.
10. Connect one end of the black negative
( ) cable to the good battery negative
( ) terminal. Use a remote negative ( )
terminal if the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch anything
until the next step.
11. Connect the other end of the negative
( ) cable to a discharged batteries
negative ( ) grounding point (on the
battery or on the vehicle frame).
12. Start the vehicle with the good battery
and run the engine for a while.
13. Try to start the vehicle that had the
discharged batteries. If it will not start
after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Caution
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.
Jumper Cable Removal
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
After starting the disabled vehicle and
removing the jumper cables, allow it to idle
for several minutes.
