@ Tips
- The discharged battery must be properly
connected to the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem. When jump starting or charging the
battery, never connect the negative
ground cable to the battery negative
post because the battery manager sys-
tem must be able to detect the battery's
state of charge . Always connect the neg-
ative ground cable to the negative
ground post of the battery manager con-
trol unit.
