Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step. The
other end of the negative ( )
cable does not go to the dead
battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or
to a remote negative ( ) terminal
on the vehicle with the dead
battery.
10. Connect the other end of the
negative ( ) cable away from
the dead battery, but not near
engine parts that move.
11. Start the vehicle with the good
battery and run the engine.
12. Press the unlock symbol on the
remote keyless entry
transmitter to disarm the
security system, if equipped.
13. Try to start the vehicle that had
the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it needs
service.
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.
Reverse the sequence exactly when
removing the jumper cables.
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not lash
or hook to the chassis
components
including the front
and rear subframes, suspension
control arms, and links
