● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.

tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.) Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and turn
the engine switch to the “ON” position, then start the vehi-
cle's engine.

cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
