How to Jumpstart a Ford S-Max
To jumpstart a Ford S-Max, you can follow these steps:
1. Prepare for Jump-Starting:
– Read the safety, jump-starting, and roadside emergency information in your Owner’s Manual under “Roadside Emergencies”.
– Have your Roadside Assistance number (800-241-3673) handy.
– Locate a pair of color-coded jumper cables and a wire brush for removing battery terminal corrosion.
– Find the battery in your S-Max, which can be under the hood or in the trunk.
– Remove any metal jewelry like rings or bracelets to avoid accidental shocks while working near the battery.
– Do not disconnect the disabled battery as this could damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
2. Jump-Starting Your Vehicle:
– Connect one end of the black negative (-) cable to a large, unpainted metal surface in the disabled vehicle’s engine bay, away from the battery and the engine itself. Make sure the cables are clear of any moving parts.
– Connect the other end of the black negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal of the working battery.
– Connect one end of the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the working battery.
– Connect the other end of the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the disabled battery.
– After a final check, start the engine of the vehicle with the working battery.
Please note that these instructions are general guidelines for jump-starting a vehicle. It’s always recommended to consult your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
