The dead 12 Volt vehicle battery in your vehicle must be properly connected to your vehicle's electrical
system.
Make certain that the vehicles are not touching each other. Otherwise, electric current could flow as
soon as the positive terminals (+) are connected. Use longer jumper cables if necessary.
The clamps on the jumper cables must have good contact to bare metal on the battery terminal of the
vehicle that is providing your vehicle with starting assistance and the positive jump-start terminal in
your vehicle ⇒ 
fig. 183.
If your vehicle's engine does not start, stop the process after 10 seconds and repeat after about
1 minute.
The procedure for attaching and for removing the jumper cables is described below. Perform each of
the following steps only in the order described, which follow the letters shown in the illustration
⇒ 
fig. 183 A – B – C – D.
Attaching jumper cables
1. Switch off the ignition in both vehicles ⇒  Starting and stopping the engine.
2. Open the fuse box cover in the engine compartment ⇒  Fuses.
3. Attach one end of the red jumper cable to the positive jump-start terminal in the engine com-
partment ⇒ 
fig. 182 (+), (1), ⇒  .
4. Attach the other end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal
(+) of the good battery
(booster battery) in the vehicle that is providing starting assistance: (2).
5. Attach one end of the black jumper cable
(3) to a suitable negative jump-start terminal of the
vehicle providing starting assistance. If a negative terminal is not available, attach the cable to
a bare metal part of the vehicle. This part should be connected directly to the engine block. You
may also attach the cable to the engine block itself or to the towing eye installed on the front of the
vehicle.
6. Attach the other end of the black jumper cable
(3) to a bare metal part of your vehicle with the
dead battery. This part should be connected directly to the engine block. You may also attach the
cable to the engine block itself or to the towing eye installed on the front of the vehicle ⇒  Installing
the front towing eye. Attach the clamp to a point that is as far away as possible from the dead bat-
tery ⇒ 
.
7. Route the jumper cables so that they cannot get caught in any moving parts in the engine com-
partment of either vehicle.
Starting the engine
Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery that is providing starting assistance to your
vehicle and let it run at idle speed.
Turn on the ignition of your vehicle with the dead battery. If the engine starts, wait 2 to 3 minutes
until it “runs smoothly” before removing the jumper cables as described below ⇒  . If the engine
does not start 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 your 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.
Removing jumper cables
With the engine running, remove the jumper cables in reverse order to the way they were connected.
1. Disconnect the black (-) cable from your vehicle with the dead battery.
