Caution
If the vehicles touch each other while
jump starting, a ground connection may
occur that disables your vehicle and/or
damages the electrical systems of one or
both vehicles.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can reach, but make sure the vehicles
are not touching each other.
3. To avoid the possibility of the vehicles
rolling, set the parking brake firmly
on both vehicles involved in the jump
start procedure. Put the vehicles into P
(Park). If the other vehicle has a manual
transmission, put the vehicle in N (Neutral)
before setting the parking brakes.
Caution
If any accessories are left on or plugged in
during the jump starting procedure, they
could be damaged. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Whenever
possible, turn off or unplug all accessories
on either vehicle when jump starting.
4. Turn off both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlet.
Turn off the radio and all lamps that are
not needed.
5. Open the hood. See Hood 3 9.
6. To open the lid, pull the handle to disengage
the clips and remove the cover.
7. Remove the covers of the positive and
negative terminals.
8. Locate the battery positive (+) terminal and
negative (−) grounding point.

Warning
Always inspect jumper cables prior to
use. Jumper cables with loose or missing

loose or missing insulation.
