Jumpstarting a Vehicle
WARNING: Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected
if the engine battery is jump-started. Read your vehicle owner’s manual
before attempting to start the vehicle to determine if external starting
assistance can be used. Failure to follow these instructions may cause
damage or explosion. Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jump-starting
a battery.
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (e.g. radios, lights, air
conditioners, and cellular phones).
2. Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission
in park position.
3. Determine the polarity of the vehicle’s battery terminals. The positive
(POS, P, +) battery terminal usually is larger in diameter than the
negative (NEG, N, −) terminal. If you are unsure, you should refer to
the vehicle owner’s manual.
4. Determine whether your vehicle uses a negative or positive grounded
system: Negative ground system (negative battery terminal is grounded
to chassis). Most vehicles use this system. Positive grounded battery
terminal is grounded to chassis or any other part of the vehicle. IF
YOU ARE UNSURE, YOU SHOULD REFER TO VEHICLE OWNER’S
MANUAL.
5. Remove clamps from the holders. Never allow clamps (positive &
negative terminals) to touch together or contact the same piece of
metal to prevent short-circuits and arcing.
6. Follow instructions for a negative grounded system or positive
grounded system as indicated below:
Negative Grounded System
a. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS,
P, +) terminal of the vehicle battery or the remote positive (+)
terminal if equipped.
b. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the vehicle
chassis, engine block, or a non-moving metal part of the vehicle
which is verified to be grounded. Do not clamp directly to
negative battery terminal, carburetor,
fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
c. See jump-starting step 7 to continue.
Positive Grounded System:
a. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to the negative
(Neg, N, −) ungrounded terminal of the vehicle battery.
b. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the vehicle chassis,
engine block, or a non-moving metal part of the vehicle which is
verified to be grounded. Do not clamp directly to positive battery
terminal, carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
c. See jump-starting step 7 to continue.

the vehicle battery as possible and disconnect the clamps in reverse
sequence to connecting procedure:
