How to Put Jumper Cables on a Honda CR-V
To put jumper cables on a Honda CR-V, you can follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power to electric devices: Before connecting the jumper cables, it is important to turn off the power to electric devices such as audio and lights in both vehicles.
2. Open the hood: Open the hood of both vehicles to access the batteries.
3. Identify the positive and negative terminals: Locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both the dead battery and the booster battery. The positive terminal is usually marked with a plus sign (+), and the negative terminal is usually marked with a minus sign (-).
4. Connect the jumper cables: Connect the jumper cables in the following order:
– Connect the red (positive) jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery.
– Connect the other end of the red (positive) jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal of the booster battery.
– Connect the black (negative) jumper cable clamp to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
– Connect the other end of the black (negative) jumper cable clamp to a metal part of the engine block or vehicle frame of the Honda CR-V, away from the battery and any moving parts.
5. Start the engine: Start the engine of the booster vehicle and let it run at a fast idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the Honda CR-V: Start the engine of the Honda CR-V. If the starter motor operates slowly, check that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
7. Disconnect the jumper cables: Once the Honda CR-V is running, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order:
– Disconnect the black (negative) jumper cable clamp from the metal part of the engine block or vehicle frame of the Honda CR-V.
– Disconnect the black (negative) jumper cable clamp from the negative terminal of the booster battery.
– Disconnect the red (positive) jumper cable clamp from the positive terminal of the booster battery.
– Disconnect the red (positive) jumper cable clamp from the positive terminal of the dead battery.
Remember to keep the ends of the jumper cables away from each other and any metal on the vehicle until everything is disconnected to avoid causing an electrical short.
Please note that it is always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific instructions on jump-starting your Honda CR-V, as procedures may vary slightly depending on the model and year.
