Figure 3 Figure 4 C D A B Figure 1 Figure 2 Jump Starting Vehicle (Information sourced from Toyota Corporation, Owner’s Manual, 2008) • To jump start the vehicle from another vehicle, or vice versa, park the vehicles alongside each other (ensuring that the vehicles are not touching) so that both batteries are within close proximity, allowing the jumper leads to span from battery to battery. • The cable connections between the two batteries should be completed in the following order: (1) Connect the red lead (positive) to the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery. (2) Connect the opposite end of the red (positive) lead to the positive (+) terminal on the booster battery. (3) Connect the black lead (negative) to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery. (4) Connect the other end of the black (negative) lead to a solid, unpainted and stationary metallic point on the vehicle with the flat battery. Do not attach to any part of the vehicle or engine that will move once the vehicle is started. • Once the leads are correctly in place, the vehicle supplying the charge should be started and allowed to idle before, and whilst, the other vehicle with the flat battery is started. • For diesel vehicles it is recommended that the flat battery is charged for approximately 5 minutes, with the jumper leads connected. During this time run the engine at approximately 2000rpm (on the vehicle with the booster battery) holding the accelerator slightly depressed. • To disconnect the jumper leads, do so in the exact reverse order as above. Starting with the negative lead, and then the positive. • Warning! To avoid serious harm or death, when attaching the jumper leads, do not lean over the battery or allow the jumper leads or clamps to come into contact with anything except the correct terminals.
