  1. Disconnect the jump lead from the metal surface used as the ground connection.
  2. Disconnect the jump lead from the negative (-) terminal of the assisting vehicle's battery.
  3. Disconnect the jump lead from the positive (+) terminal of the assisting vehicle's battery.
  4. Disconnect the jump lead from the positive (+) terminal of the disabled vehicle's battery.

After disconnecting the jump leads, leave the disabled vehicle in Ready to Drive mode for several minutes to recharge the 12 V battery. The disabled vehicle can recharge the 12 V battery even if the gasoline engine is off.

The high-voltage battery then supplies energy to the 12 V battery.
