Do not push-start your
vehicle. You could damage
the catalytic converter. For
further information, see Jumper
Cables in the Index.
Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which burns skin,
eyes, and clothing.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Position the vehicles so that
they do not touch one another.
2. Switch off the engine. Switch off
any unnecessary electrical
equipment.
3. Connect the positive (+)
terminal of the discharged battery
(1) to the positive (+) terminal of
the booster battery (2).
4. Connect one end of the second
lead to the negative (-) terminal of
the booster battery (3) and the
other end to a metal part of the
engine to be started (4), not to the
negative (-) terminal of the
discharged battery.
5. Make sure that the jumper leads
are clear of moving parts of the
engine.
