NOTE:
Make sure at all times that unused ends of
jumper cables are not contacting each other
or either vehicle while making connections.
If frequent jump-starting is required to start
your vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system tested at your authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle
power outlets draw power from the vehi-
cle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine
operation, the vehicle’s battery will dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable to the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
