276 Vehicle Care
Caution
Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to the vehicle that would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Trying
to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling
it will not work, and it could damage the
vehicle.
Caution
If the jump leads are connected or
removed in the wrong order, electrical
shorting may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Always connect
and remove the jump leads in the correct
order, making sure that the cables do not
touch each other or other metal.
Connection Points and Sequence
1. Discharged Battery Positive (+)
Terminal
2. Good Battery Positive (+) Terminal
3. Good Battery Negative (−) Terminal
4. Discharged Battery Negative (−)
Earthing Point
The discharged battery positive (+) terminal
and the discharged battery negative (–)
earthing point are on the driver side of the
vehicle.
The good battery negative (–) terminal and
the good battery positive (+) terminal are
on the battery of the vehicle providing the
jump start.
The discharged battery positive (+) terminal
is under a cover. Remove the cover to
expose the terminal.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a
12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
a vehicle that has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jump leads can reach, but make sure the
vehicles are not touching each other.
Caution
If the vehicles touch each other while
jump starting, an earth connection may
occur that disables your vehicle and/or
damages the electrical systems of one or
both vehicles.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles
rolling, apply the parking brake firmly on
both vehicles involved in the jump start
procedure. Put the vehicles into P (Park).
