Make sure none of the cables are dangling into the engine
compartment, where they could be exposed to moving
parts.
4. Remove the jumper cables once the vehicle starts. Do this in
the reverse of the order in which they were attached, and don't
let any of the cables or clamps touch each other (or dangle
into the engine compartment)
• Disconnect the black clamp of the jumper cable from the
negative (-) terminal of the discharged battery
• Disconnect the other end of the black clamp from the
negative (-) terminal of the booster battery
• Disconnect the red clamp of the jumper cable from the
positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
• Disconnect the other end of the red clamp from the positive
(+) terminal of the discharged battery
Replace positive (+) red post protective covers if applicable
(You have had to remove or open these in the beginning)
These covers help prevent accidental short circuiting of the
battery
5. Keep the recently-disabled vehicle's engine running. Run the
vehicle above idle (slightly revved up with your foot on the
accelerator). This should give the battery enough charge to
start the vehicle again. If it does not, you probably have a dead
battery or a dying alternator
Improper jump starting procedures can result in battery
explosion and acid burn hazard.
Loosely connected battery cables could damage the electronic
control units.
To disconnect battery terminals wait for at least 2 minutes to
allow discharge of high voltage or it could lead to personal
injury.
While disconnecting, always disconnect the -VE terminal first
and while connecting, always connect the -VE terminal last.
Do not connect battery terminals with opposite polarity, it will
lead to alternator failure
