Connect the other end
of the negative
(-)
cable at least
18
inches
(45
cm) away from
the dead battery,
but not near engine
parts that move.
The electrical connection is just as good there, and
the chance
of sparks getting back to the battery
is much less.

Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11.
Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If
it won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice:
Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting
if
jumper cables are removed
incorrectly.
To
prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
