3. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, position the vehicles (E) and (F) shown in the illustration
below, to bring the batteries near each other.
Do not allow the two vehicles to touch.
4. Apply the parking brake. Move the shift lever to P (P ark). Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems
(lights, heater, air conditioner, etc.).
5. Remove the vent caps (if so equipped) on the booster battery and cover the battery with an old cloth
(G) to reduce the explosion hazard.
6. Connect jumper cables in the sequence illustrated (A), (B), (C), (D).
7. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes.
CAUTION:
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts. Use of an improperly rated battery can damage
the vehicle.
• Always connect positive (+) from booster vehicle to remote positive (+) battery terminal.
• Always connect negative (-) from booster vehicle to body ground (for example, strut mounting
bolt, engine lift bracket, etc.).
• Make sure the jumper cables do not touch moving parts in the engine compartment and that the
cable clamps do not contact any other metal.
