Jump starting

Follow these instructions to jump start your car's dead battery or to jump start another car's dead battery
using your car. Although your car's battery is located under the floor of the trunk, jumper cables should
be connected in the engine compartment, to the points shown in the illustrations.
If the 12-volt auxiliary battery to be used is in another car, check that the cars are not touching to prevent
premature completion of a circuit. Be sure to follow jump starting instructions provided for the other
vehicle.
To jump start your car:
Switch off the ignition.
First connect the auxiliary battery positive (+) terminal (1) to the positive (+) terminal in your car's
engine compartment (2), located under a small black plastic cover attached to the fuse box cover,
marked with a "+" sign. Remove the cover on the main fuse box if necessary to access this terminal.
Then connect the auxiliary battery's negative (-) terminal (3) to the ground point in your car's engine
compartment (4).
Start the engine in the assisting car, then start the engine in the car with dead battery.
After the engine has started, first remove the negative (-) terminal jumper cable. Then remove the
positive (+) terminal jumper cable.
