vehicle battery.

(booster battery):

nal, or if that is not available, to the negative terminal
(-) of the battery in the vehicle providing

(3) to the negative jump-start terminal ⇒  Jump-start
terminal, or if that is not available, a bare metal part of the vehicle with the dead battery. This
part should be connected directly to the electric motor block. You may also attach the cable to the

7. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any moving parts in the electric motor
compartment of either vehicle.
Starting the electric motor
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery that is providing help and let it run at idle
speed.
Turn on the ignition of your vehicle with the dead battery. If the electric motor can be activated, wait
2 to 3 minutes before removing the jumper cables as described below ⇒  . If the electric motor
cannot be activated within about 10 seconds, turn off the ignition and wait at least 1 minute; then try
again.
Before removing the jumper cables
Switch off the headlights (if they are on).
In the vehicle with the dead battery, switch on the heater fan and the rear window defroster. This
helps to minimize voltage spikes when the cables are disconnected.

connected.
1. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the vehicle with the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black (-) cable from the other vehicle (vehicle with the good battery).
