Important: When replacing battery cables, use a replacement cable that is the same type, diameter, and length. Additional feed wires may be attached to the positive cables. Additional ground leads may be attached to the negative cables. Always route a replacement battery cable the same as the original cable routing.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
