Jump Starting

Jump Starting Procedure

Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine,

then open the bonnet.

1. Open the terminal cover on your vehicle's

battery positive + terminal.

2. Connect the first jumper cable to your

vehicle's battery + terminal.

3. Connect the other end of the first jumper

cable to the booster battery + terminal.

Use a 12-volt booster battery only.

When using an automotive battery

charger to boost your 12-volt battery,

select a lower charging voltage than 15-

volt. Check the charger manual for the

proper setting.

1Jump Starting

A battery can explode if you do not follow

the correct procedure, seriously injuring

anyone nearby.

Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking

materials away from the battery.

If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte inside

can freeze. Attempting to jump start with a frozen

battery can cause it to rupture.

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they

do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be

careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the

cable ends to touch each other while attaching or

detaching the jumper cables.
