How to Jump Start a Acura Integra

1. Turn off power to electric devices such as audio and lights, switch off the engine, then open the hood.
2. Open the cover on your battery's positive + terminal.
3. Connect the first jumper cable to your vehicle's battery + terminal.
4. Connect the other end of that cable to the booster battery + terminal.
5. Connect the second jumper cable to the booster battery - terminal.
6. Connect the other end of the second cable to the stud bolt shown, and nothing else.
7. Start the assisting vehicle's engine and raise its RPM slightly, then start your engine.
8. Once running, remove the cables in reverse order: your ground, booster -, your battery +, booster +.

• Use a 12-volt booster battery only.
• If the engine turns over slowly, check that the cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
• Have your vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer afterward.
