How to Jump Start a Hyundai Venue

Steps from the 2026 Hyundai Venue owner's manual.

  1. Park the vehicles close enough for the cables to reach without touching, and keep clear of fans and moving parts.
  2. Turn off all electrical devices, put both vehicles in P (Park), set the parking brakes and turn both vehicles OFF.
  3. Attach one jumper cable to the red, positive (+) jumper terminal of your vehicle (1).
  4. Attach the other end of that cable to the red, positive (+) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (2).
  5. Attach the second cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
  6. Attach the other end of the second cable to the black, negative (-) chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
  7. Start the assisting vehicle, let it run at about 2,000 RPM for a few minutes, then start your vehicle.
  8. Remove the cables in exact reverse order: (4), (3), (2), then (1).
