  1. Turn off audio, lights and other electric devices, switch off the power system, then open the hood.
  2. Open the cover on the positive + terminal.
  3. Clamp the first jumper cable to your vehicle's 12-volt battery + terminal, and the other end to the booster battery + terminal.
  4. Clamp the second jumper cable to the booster battery - terminal.
  5. Attach the other end of the second cable to the stud bolt shown in the manual, and to no other part.
