6. Check that the jumper cables do
not have loose or missing
insulation or a shock could result
and the vehicles could be
damaged.
Before connecting the jumper cables,
here are some basic things to know.
Positive (+) jumper cable goes to
positive (+) battery terminal or
a remote positive (+) terminal if
available. Negative (−) jumper cable
goes to negative (−) battery terminal
or a remote negative (−) terminal if
available. Do not connect positive (+)
to negative (−) or there will be a short
that may damage the battery and
other parts of the vehicle.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Connect the red positive (+)
jumper cable to the remote
positive (+) terminal (A) of the
vehicle. Do not let the other end of
the cable touch metal.
2. Connect the other end of the red
positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the other
vehicle.
3. Connect the black negative (−)
jumper cable to the negative (−)
battery terminal of the other
vehicle battery. Do not let the
other end touch anything until the
next step.
4. Connect the other end of the black
negative (−) jumper cable to the
remote negative (−) terminal of
the vehicle.
5. Push m button to start. This will
wake up the electronics on the
vehicle. After the instrument
cluster initialises, the vehicle will
use power from the high voltage
battery to charge the 12 volt
battery. The jumper cables can
then be disconnected. If the
vehicle does not start, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Disconnecting the jumper cables
1. Disconnect the black negative (−)
jumper cable from the vehicle. Do
not let the other end of the cable
touch anything until after the next
step.
2. Disconnect the black negative (−)
jumper cable from the other
vehicle with the good battery.
3. Disconnect the red positive (+)
jumper cable from the other
vehicle. Do not let the other end of
the cable touch anything until after
the next step.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+)
jumper cable from the vehicle.
5. Return the positive (+) and
negative (−) terminal covers to
their original positions.
Jump starting another vehicle
When using the vehicle to jump start
another vehicle with a rundown
battery, jumper cables are connected
directly to the positive (+) and
negative (−) terminals on the 12 volt
battery in the rear cargo area. Do not
use the remote terminals under the
bonnet. This could cause a fuse to
overload in the vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must
have a 12 volt battery with
a negative ground system.
