How to Jump Start a Nissan Rogue

1. Push the park button to engage the P (Park) position.
2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical systems such as headlights, heater and air conditioner.
3. Connect the jumper cables in the sequence shown in the illustration.
4. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run for a few minutes.
5. Hold the booster vehicle's engine at about 2,000 rpm and start the engine of the vehicle being jump started.
6. Once your engine starts, carefully disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive cable.

• Connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to body ground, not to the battery.
• Do not run the starter for more than 10 seconds; if the engine does not start, turn the ignition OFF and wait 10 seconds before trying again.
• Do not try to push-start or tow-start the vehicle; CVT models cannot be started that way.
