Jump Starting
Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the engine,
then open the hood (see page 117).
1. 6-cylinder models: Remove the engine
cover. Start on the passenger side, and lift the
outermost edge of the cover, removing it from
the pins. Move towards the driver side while
applying uniform upward pressure. Open the
battery terminal cover.
2. All models: Connect the first jumper cable to
your vehicle’s battery (+) terminal.
3. Connect the other end of the first jumper
cable to the booster battery (+) terminal. Use
a 12-volt booster battery only (i.e., an assisting
vehicle or a rechargeable 12-volt battery pack).
4. Connect the second jumper cable to the
booster battery (-) terminal.
5. Connect the other end of the second jumper
cable to the mounting bolt or engine hanger
as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable to
any other part.
6. If your vehicle is connected to another vehicle,
start the assisting vehicle’s engine and increase
its rpm slightly.
7. Attempt to start your vehicle’s engine. If it
turns over slowly, make sure the jumper cables
have good metal-to-metal contact.
