The procedure for attaching and for removing the jumper cables is described below. Perform each of
the following steps only in the order described, which follow the letters shown in the illustration
⇒ fig. 183 A – B – C – D.
Attaching jumper cables
1. Switch off the ignition in both vehicles .
2. Open the fuse box cover in the engine compartment .
3. Attach one end of the red jumper cable to the positive jump-start terminal in the engine
compartment ⇒ fig. 182 (+) ⇒ .
4. Attach the other end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal (+) of the good battery
(booster battery): (2).
5. Attach one end of the black jumper cable to the negative terminal (-) of the booster battery: (2) .
6. Attach the other end of the black jumper cable (3) to a bare metal part of the vehicle with the
dead battery. This part should be connected directly to the engine block. You may also attach the
cable to the engine block itself or to the towing eye installed on the front of the vehicle . Attach the
clamp to a point that is as far away as possible from the dead battery (1) ⇒ .
7. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any moving parts in the engine
compartment of either vehicle.
Starting the engine
x Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery that is providing help and let it run at idle
speed.
x Turn on the ignition of the vehicle with the dead battery. If the engine starts, wait 2 to 3 minutes
until it “runs smoothly” before removing the jumper cables as described below ⇒ . If the engine
does not start within about 10 seconds, turn off the ignition and wait at least 1 minute; then try again.
Before removing the jumper cables
x Switch off the headlights (if they are on).
x In the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and the rear window defroster. This
helps to minimize voltage spikes when the cables are disconnected.
Removing jumper cables

1. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
3. Disconnect the red (+) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
