to the negative ( ) terminal on
the booster battery. Connect the
other end to the grounding strap
as shown. Do not connect this

vehicle, have an assistant start
that vehicle and run it at a fast idle.
Open the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or like ice, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.

the parking brake.
