[RE01400(ALL)03/95]
To avoid damaging your vehicle or your battery, and to avoid
injury to yourself, follow these directions for preparing your
vehicle to jump-start and connecting the jumper cables in the
order they are given. If in doubt, call for road service.
[RE01500(ALL)02/95]
To prepare your vehicle for jump-starting:
[RE01600(ALL)02/95]1.
Use only a 12-volt battery to jump-start your vehicle. Your
vehicle has a 12-volt starting system, so you need to use a
12-volt jumper system. You can damage your starting motor,
ignition system, and other electrical parts if you connect
them to a 24-volt power supply (either two 12-volt batteries
in series or a 24-volt motor generator set).
*
[RE01700(ALL)03/95]2.
Do not disconnect the battery of the vehicle that needs a
jump-start. You could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
*
[RE01800(ALL)03/95]3.
Park the second vehicle close to the hood of your vehicle,
but make sure the vehicles do not touch each other. Set the
parking brake on both vehicles and stay clear of the engine
cooling fan.
*
[RE01900(ALL)03/95]4.
Check the battery terminals and remove any excessive
corrosion before you attach the jumper cables.
*
[RE02000(ALL)01/93]5.
Turn on the heater blower in both vehicles. Turn off all other
switches and lights in both vehicles to prevent possible
damage to either vehicle's electrical systems.

To connect the jumper cables:
[RE02200(ALL)02/95]1.
Connect one end of the first jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the dead battery. (You can connect either jumper
cable to the positive (+) terminal, as long as you use the
same cable for both positive terminals.) Most jumper cables
have a red cable and a black cable. The red cable is generally
used for the positive terminals and the black for the negative
ones.
*
[RE02300(ALL)04/95]2.
Connect the other end of the first cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery.
*
[RE02400(ALL)03/95]3.
Connect one end of the second cable to the negative (s)
terminal of the booster battery Ð NOT to the dead battery.
[RE02500(ALL)12/93]4.
Connect the other end of that cable to a good, unpainted
metallic surface in the engine compartment of the vehicle
that needs a jump-start. The following illustration shows
where you can find a metallic surface.
*
[RE02600(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not connect the end of the second cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark
may cause an explosion of the gases that surround the
battery.

[RE03000(ALL)02/95]2.
Let the dead battery charge for a few minutes and then start
the vehicle that has the dead battery. If the starter does not
crank, check for good, solid jumper cable clamp attachments.
It may take a couple of tries before your vehicle starts. If
your vehicle does not start after several attempts, you may
have a different mechanical problem.
*
[RE03100(ALL)03/95]3.
When both vehicles are running, let them idle for a few
minutes to charge the dead battery.
% [RE03200(ALL)02/95]

[RE03300(ALL)02/95]1.
Remove the negative (s) end of the jumper cable from the
metallic surface in the engine compartment of the vehicle
that needed a jump-start.
*
[RE03400(ALL)03/95]2.
Remove the other end of the negative (s) cable from the
booster battery.
*
[RE03500(ALL)03/95]3.

*
[RE03600(ALL)03/95]4.
Remove the other end of the positive (+) cable from the
vehicle that needed a jump-start.
% [RE03700(ALL)02/95]
After your vehicle is started, let it idle for a while to let the
engine ªrelearnº its idle conditions and drive it around for a
little while with all electrical accessories turned off, to let the
battery recharge.You may need to use a battery charger to
fully recharge the battery.
