How to Jump Start a Hyundai Palisade

1. Park the vehicles close enough for the cables to reach without touching, switch off all electrical devices, shift both to P (Park), apply the parking brakes and turn both vehicles OFF.
2. Open the engine hood and identify the positive + and negative - terminals correctly.
3. Connect one end of the first jumper cable to the red, positive + battery terminal of your vehicle.
4. Connect the other end of that cable to the red, positive + battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle.
5. Connect the second cable to the black, negative - terminal of the assisting vehicle, then its other end to your vehicle's chassis ground.
6. Start the assisting vehicle and run it at about 2,000 RPM for a few minutes, then start your vehicle.
7. Once your vehicle starts, remove the cable from the chassis ground and the assisting negative - terminal, then remove the positive + cable from both vehicles.

• Use only a 12 V power supply and never try to push-start the vehicle.
• Never connect the cable to the negative - terminal of the discharged battery; a spark could make the battery explode.
• Keep your vehicle running at least 30 minutes at idle or driving; a fully discharged battery may need up to 60 minutes.
