Jump starting procedure

1. Open the cover of battery in trunk room.
2. Make sure the booster battery is 12-
volt and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
3. If the booster battery is in another vehi-
cle, do not allow the vehicles to touch.
4. Turn off all unnecessary electrical loads.
5. Connect the jumper cables in the exact
sequence shown in the illustration.
First connect one end of a jumper
cable to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery (1), then connect
the other end to the positive terminal
on the booster battery (2). Proceed to
connect one end of the other jumper
cable to the negative terminal of the
booster battery (3), then the other end
to a solid, stationary, metallic point (for
example, the engine lifting bracket)
away from the battery (4). Do not con-
nect it to or near any part that moves
when the engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to con-
tact anything except the correct battery
terminals or the correct ground. Do not
lean over the battery when making
connections.
