2.
cable to the assisting vehicle’s
terminal.
Use a 12 volt booster battery only.
Connect the second jumper cable to the
3.
assisting vehicle’s
terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the grounding strap as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to any other part of the engine. If your vehicle is connected to another

Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the cable ends to touch each other while attaching or detaching the jumper cables. Battery performance degrades in cold conditions and may prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
