x Turn 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 one minute; then try again.

Before removing the jumper cables
1. Switch off the headlights (if they are on).
2. 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
With the engine running, remove the jumper cables in reverse order to the way they were connected.
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).
4. Disconnect the red (+) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
5. Close the battery cover as the case may be.
