How to Jump Start a Hyundai Venue
Steps from the 2026 Hyundai Venue owner's manual.
- Park the vehicles close enough for the cables to reach without touching, and keep clear of fans and moving parts.
- Turn off all electrical devices, put both vehicles in P (Park), set the parking brakes and turn both vehicles OFF.
- Attach one jumper cable to the red, positive (+) jumper terminal of your vehicle (1).
- Attach the other end of that cable to the red, positive (+) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (2).
- Attach the second cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
- Attach the other end of the second cable to the black, negative (-) chassis ground of your vehicle (4).
- Start the assisting vehicle, let it run at about 2,000 RPM for a few minutes, then start your vehicle.
- Remove the cables in exact reverse order: (4), (3), (2), then (1).
- Use only a 12-volt power supply and never try to push-start the vehicle.
- Do not connect the cable to the negative (-) jumper terminal of the discharged battery; a spark could make the battery explode.
- If the vehicle will not start after a few attempts, it probably requires service.
