How to Jump Start a Honda CR-V Hybrid

1. Switch off electric devices such as audio and lights, turn off the power system, then open the hood.
2. Open the terminal cover and clip the first jumper cable to your vehicle's 12-volt battery + terminal.
3. Clip the other end of the first cable to the booster battery + terminal.
4. Clip the second jumper cable to the booster battery - terminal.
5. Clip the other end of the second cable to the engine mounting bolt shown, and to no other part.
6. If using another vehicle, start its engine and raise its RPM slightly.
7. Try to start your vehicle; if it turns over slowly, check the cables for good metal-to-metal contact.

• Use a 12-volt booster battery only; a battery charger should be set lower than 15-volt.
• After starting, remove the cables in reverse order: ground, booster - terminal, your + terminal, booster + terminal.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a nearby service station or a dealer afterward.
