Note: Only use a 12 V power source to start the vehicle. Note: Do not disconnect the battery of a vehicle that has broken down: this could damage the vehicle's electrical system.

  1. Park the assisting vehicle with the auxiliary battery close to the hood of the disabled vehicle; make sure the two vehicles are not touching. Apply the parking brake on both vehicles and keep away from the engine cooling fan and other moving components.
  2. Check the battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before connecting the battery cables. Make sure the caps are tight and straight.
  3. Turn on the blower fan of the heating system in both vehicles to protect against electrical surges. Switch off all other accessories.
