Warning. Batteries are dangerous because:
- contain acid that can burn you
- contain gas which may explode or catch fire
- contain enough electricity to shock and burn you
1. Check another car. It should have a negative grounded 12 volt battery.
2. Put the cars next to each other so that the bundled wires can reach the target, but the cars do not put both cars on the parking brakes, automatic transmission in PARK (R).
1. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles, turn off all unnecessary electrical consumers.
2. Open the hoods and inspect the batteries. Locate the positive and negative terminals.
3. Check the start wires, the insulation on them must not be damaged.
4. Connect the red positive wire to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
5. Do not let the other end of the wire touch the metal. Connect this end of the wire to the positive terminal of the charged battery.
6. Connect the black negative wire to the negative terminal of the charged battery. Don't let the other end touch anything until the next step. Do not connect this end of the wire to a dead battery, but to a suitable negative metal contact on your car, away from the battery.
7. The wire must be connected at least 18 inches away from the discharged battery (45 cm). Wires should not be near moving parts of the engine.
8. Now start the engine with a good battery, let the engine run for a while.
