Open the booster terminal cover.
Using booster cables, connect the 12 V battery of the rescue vehicle to the battery of the stalled vehicle as shown in the illustration.

| Connecting Sequence | Connecting Location |
|---|---|
| 1 | Booster terminal of stalled vehicle |
| 2 | Positive (+) battery terminal of rescue vehicle |
| 3 | Negative (-) battery terminal of rescue vehicle |

Start the engine of the rescue vehicle and run its engine a slightly elevated speed for approximately 5 minutes in order to charge the battery of the stalled vehicle.
With the engine of the rescue vehicle maintained at that speed, turn the ignition switch to ON once before starting the engine.
Once the engine starts, immediately disconnect the booster cable by performing the connection procedure in reverse.
