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 the remote negative
(-) post of the discharged vehicle.
NOTE:
The remote negative (-) post is located in the front of the engine compartment on
the driver's side.
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 personal 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.
6. Once the engine is started, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive end (+) of the jumper cable from the positive (+) post of
the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the remote
positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.
5. Close the cover of the Front Power Distribution Center.
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle's
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough without engine operation, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
