WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
Jump Starting Procedure
Failure to follow this jump-starting procedure could result in personal injury or prop-
erty 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 dis-
charged 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.
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.
