and then try starting again. Wait a few
seconds before the next attempt. Each
cranking should be as short as possible to
preserve battery energy. Do not crank the
engine more than 5 seconds on each
attempt.
Jump-starting
Jump-starting the vehicle should be
avoided. The battery should be removed
and charged instead. However, if the
vehicle must be jump-started, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the key to “OFF”.
2. Open the upper hood
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Using a charged 12V battery, connect the
positive lead of the jumper cable to the
positive terminal on the battery in the
vehicle and the other end of the positive
lead to the positive terminal of the
charged battery.
1. Jumper cable positive lead
2. Jumper cable negative lead
