How to Jump Start a Honda Accord Hybrid
Steps from the 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid owner's manual.
- Turn off audio, lights and other electric devices, switch off the power system, then open the hood.
- Open the cover on the positive + terminal.
- Clamp the first jumper cable to your vehicle's 12-volt battery + terminal, and the other end to the booster battery + terminal.
- Clamp the second jumper cable to the booster battery - terminal.
- Attach the other end of the second cable to the stud bolt shown in the manual, and to no other part.
- If using another vehicle, start its engine and raise its RPM slightly.
- Try starting your vehicle; if it turns over slowly, check the clamps for good metal-to-metal contact.
- Use a 12-volt booster battery only.
- After the power system starts, remove the cables in reverse order: ground, booster -, your battery +, booster +.
- Have the vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer afterward.
