How to Jump Start a Ford EcoSport

1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the assisting battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of the assisting battery.
4. Make the final negative (-) connection to an exposed metal part of the stalled engine, away from the battery and fuel system.
5. Start the booster vehicle's engine and run it at moderately increased speed, then start the disabled vehicle.
6. Run both engines for three more minutes, then remove the cables in reverse order of connection.

• Never connect the second cable end to the negative (-) terminal of the battery being jumped; a spark may ignite battery gases.
• Before connecting, set the parking brake on both vehicles and turn the heater fan on in both, with other accessories off.
• After the jump, let the engine idle for several minutes so the engine computer can relearn idle conditions.
