3. Park the booster vehicle close to
the hood of the disabled vehicle,
making sure the two vehicles do
nottouch. Set the parking brake
on both vehicles and stay clear of
the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.
4. Check all battery terminals and
remove any excessive corrosion
before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure that vent caps are
tight and level.
5. Turn the heater fan on in both
vehicles to protect from any
electrical surges. Turn all other
accessories off.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Connect the positive (+) booster
cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharge battery.
Note:In the illustrations,
“lightning bolts” are used to
designate the assisting (boosting)
battery.

Roadside emergencies
1562. Connect the other end of the
positive (+) cable to the positive
(+) terminal of the assisting
battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the
assisting battery.
4. Make the final connection of the
negative (-) cable to an exposed
metal part of the stalled vehicle’s
engine, away from the battery and
the carburetor.
The preferred locations of an
exposed metal part (to “ground”
the circuit) are the accessible
engine mount studs or an engine
lifting “eye”. Do notuse fuel lines,
engine rocker covers, or the intake
manifold as “grounding” points.

Do not connect the end of
the second cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the

of fan blades, belts and other
moving parts of both engines.
Jump starting
1. Start the engine of the booster
vehicle and run the engine at a
moderately increased speed.
2. Start the engine of the disabled
vehicle.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has
been started, run both engines for
a further three minutes before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
Removing jumper cables
Remove the jumper cables in
the reverse order that they
were connected.
1. Remove the jumper cable from
the “ground” metal surface.

negative (-) connection of the
booster vehicle’s battery.
4. Remove the jumper cable from
the positive (+) terminal of the
disabled vehicle’s battery. 3. Remove the jumper cable from
the positive (+) terminal of the
booster vehicle’s battery.
After the disabled vehicle has been
started and the jumper cables
removed, allow it to idle for several
minutes so the engine computer
can “relearn” its idle conditions.
