Procedure 1

Disconnect batteryConnect battery
1. If possible, apply parking brake or alternatively, chock wheels1. Ensure that all electrical loads are switched OFF
2. Switch off ignition2. Connect battery leads - GROUND lead last
3. Wait 2 minutes for engine management system to 'power down'3. Switch on ignition
4. Open the hood4. Operate parking brake switch several times until parking brake warning lamp is extinguished
5. Disconnect battery - GROUND lead first  

Procedure 2

Disconnect batteryConnect battery
1. Unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm using the 'plip' button1. Ensure that all electrical loads are switched OFF
2. Enter the vehicle, turn the ignition key to position II, apply the parking brake or chock the wheels and then turn the ignition key to position 0. Remove the key to 'power down' the ICE system2. Connect battery leads - GROUND lead last
3. Wait 2 minutes for engine management system to 'power down'3. Switch on ignition
4. Open the hood4. Operate parking brake switch several times until parking brake warning lamp is extinguished
5. Disconnect battery - GROUND lead first 
NOTE:

1. Disconnect battery - The door unlock process initialises the ICE system.

Procedure 3

Disconnect batteryConnect battery
1. Unlock the vehicle from the left hand front door using the key1. Ensure that all electrical loads are switched OFF
2. Enter the vehicle, turn the ignition key to position II, apply the parking brake or chock the wheels and then turn the ignition key to position 0. Remove the key to 'power down' the ICE system2. Connect battery leads - GROUND lead last
3. Wait 2 minutes for engine management system to 'power down'3. Switch on ignition
4. Open the hood4. Operate parking brake switch several times until parking brake warning lamp is extinguished
5. Disconnect battery - GROUND lead first 
NOTES:

  • 1. - Disconnect battery - The door unlock process initialises the ICE system

  • 1. Connect battery - If there is insufficient capacity in the battery to disarm the alarm, the alarm may sound on reconnection of the battery - Step 3 will disarm the alarm

Vehicle Jump (Emergency) Starting - Using Another Vehicle

Carry out the following operations in the sequence given
1. Connect one end of the BLACK (-) booster cable to the GROUND (-) battery terminal of the DONOR vehicle
2. Connect the other end of the BLACK (-) booster cable to a good earth point e.g. unpainted metal surface or engine mounting at least 0.5 m (20.0 in) from the battery or fuel lines on the DISABLED vehicle
3. Connect one end of the RED (+) booster cable to the positive (+) battery terminal of the DONOR vehicle
4. Connect the other end of the RED (+) booster cable to the positive (+) battery terminal of the DISABLED vehicle
5. Start the engine of the DONOR vehicle and allow it to idle for a few minutes
6. Start the engine of the DISABLED vehicle
7. Allow engines of both vehicles to idle for a few minutes then switch off the engine of the DONOR vehicle
8. Disconnect the RED (+) booster cable from the battery of the PREVIOUSLY DISABLED vehicle
9. Disconnect the RED (+) booster cable from the battery of the DONOR vehicle
10. Disconnect the BLACK (-) booster cable from the earth point of the PREVIOUSLY DISABLED vehicle
11. Disconnect the BLACK (-) booster cable from the battery of the DONOR vehicle
WARNINGS:

  • During normal use, batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas sufficient to cause severe explosions and capable of causing serious injury - keep sparks and naked lights away from the engine compartment.

  • DO NOT attempt to start the disabled vehicle if it is suspected that the electrolyte in the battery is frozen (before 14MY only).

  • Suitable eye protection must be worn when working in the vicinity of the battery.

  • Take care when working near rotating parts of the engine.

  • Prior to attempting to start the disabled vehicle, ensure that the parking brake is applied or suitably chock the wheels. Ensure that 'P' - PARK - Automatic Gearbox or NEUTRAL - Manual Gearbox is selected.

CAUTIONS:

  • Ensure that all electrical loads are switched OFF prior to connecting booster cables and disconnect booster cables prior to using any electrical equipment.

  • Ensure that the battery of the DONOR vehicle is of 12 volt capacity and that all electrical loads on the disabled vehicle are switched OFF prior to connecting booster cables.

  • Ensure that there is no physical contact between the donor and disabled vehicles other than the booster cables.

Vehicle Jump (Emergency) Starting - Using a Slave Battery/Starting Aid

Carry out the following operations in the sequence given
1. Connect the end of the BLACK (-) booster cable to the ground (-) battery terminal of the vehicle
2. Connect the end of the RED (+) booster cable to the positive (+) battery terminal of the vehicle
3. Start the engine of the vehicle and allow it to idle
4. Disconnect the RED (+) booster cable from the battery terminal of the vehicle
5. Disconnect the BLACK (-) booster cable from the battery terminal of the vehicle
WARNINGS:

  • During normal use, batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas sufficient to cause severe explosions and capable of causing serious injury - keep sparks and naked lights away from the engine compartment.

CAUTIONS:

  • Ensure that all electrical loads are switched OFF prior to connecting booster cables and disconnect booster cables prior to using any electrical equipment.

  • Ensure that the slave battery/starting aid are of 12 volt capacity and that all electrical loads on the disabled vehicle are switched OFF prior to connecting booster cables.
