at least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead

Your vehicle has a remote negative ( )
terminal for this purpose.

11. Press the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter to disarm your

removed in the wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the vehicle. The repairs
would not be covered by your 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.
