5. Check that the jumper cables do not have loose or

missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock.

The vehicles could be damaged, too.

Before you connect the cables, here are some

basic things you should know. Positive (+) will go to

positive (+) or to a remote positive (+) terminal if

the vehicle has one. Negative (−) will go to a heavy,

unpainted metal engine part or to a remote

negative (−) terminal if the vehicle has one.

Do not connect positive (+) to negative (−) or you will

get a short that would damage the battery and maybe

other parts, too. And do not connect the negative (−)

cable to the negative (−) terminal on the dead battery

because this can cause sparks.

6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)

terminal of the dead battery. Use a remote

positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.

7. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to

the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a

remote positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.

8. Now connect the black negative (−) cable to the

negative (−) terminal of the good battery. Use a

remote negative (−) terminal if the vehicle has one.

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.

9. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable at

least 18 inches (45 cm) away from the dead battery,

but not near engine parts that move. The electrical

connection is just as good there, and the chance

of sparks getting back to the battery is much less.

Your vehicle has a remote negative (−) terminal

for this purpose.

10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run

the engine for a while.

11. Press the unlock button on the remote keyless

entry transmitter to disarm your content

theft-deterrent system.

12. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If

it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs

service.

Notice: 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 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.
