✽NOTICE
Your vehicle has a battery in the
trunk room, but when you jump
start your vehicle, use the jumper
terminal in the engine room.
1.Make sure the booster battery is
12-volt and that its negative termi-
nal is grounded.
2.If the booster battery is in another
vehicle, do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
3.Turn off all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4.Connect the jumper cables in the
exact sequence shown in the illus-
tration. First connect one end of a
jumper cable to the positive termi-
nal of the jump start connector (1),
then connect the other end to the
positive terminal on the booster
battery (2).
Proceed to connect one end of the
other jumper cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery (3),
then the other end to the negative
terminal of the jump start connec-
tor (4). Do not connect it to or near
any part that moves when the
engine is cranked.
Do not allow the jumper cables to
contact anything except the correct
battery terminals or the correct
ground. Do not lean over the bat-
tery when making connections.(Continued)

5.Start the engine of the vehicle with
the booster battery and let it run at
2,000 rpm, then start the engine of
the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
If the cause of your battery discharg-

cables
If you jump start the discharged
battery in the trunk compart-
ment, do not connect the
jumper cable from the negative
terminal of the booster battery
to the negative terminal of the
discharged battery. This can
cause the discharged battery to
overheat and crack, releasing
battery acid.
Connect the jumper cable from
the negative terminal of the
booster battery to a solid, sta-
tionary or metallic point away
from the discharged battery.
