remote negative ( ) terminal if
the vehicle has one.

negative ( ) or you will get a
short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts
too. And do not connect the
negative ( ) cable to the
negative ( ) terminal on the
dead battery because this can
cause sparks.

cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the vehicle with the
dead battery.
7. Do not let the other end touch
metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the
good battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.

cable to the negative ( )
terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative ( )

Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.

negative ( ) cable to the metal
bracket that is bolted to the
engine and supports the
resonator, on the vehicle with
the dead battery.
10. Start the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine for a
while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. 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.
