2.
Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled
vehicle. You could damage the vehicle’s
electrical system.
3.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of
the disabled vehicle.
Make sure the vehicles
do not touch each other.
Set the parking
brake on both vehicles and stay clear of the
engine cooling fan and other moving parts.
4.
Check all battery terminals and remove any
excessive corrosion before you attach the
jumper cables.
5.
Turn on the heater fan in both vehicles. Turn
the function selector knob to the
V
position. Turn off all other switches.
Connecting the jumper cables
1.
Connect one end of the first jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the discharged
battery. (You can connect either jumper cable
to the positive (+) terminal, as long as you
use the same cable for both positive
terminals.) Most jumper cables have a red
cable and a black cable. The red cable is
generally used for the positive terminals and
the black for the negative ones.
2.
Connect the other end of the first cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery.
3.
Connect one end of the second cable to the
negative (
S
) terminal of the booster battery
— NOT to the discharged battery.
4.
Connect the other end of that cable to a
good metallic surface on the engine or frame
of the disabled vehicle. The following
illustration shows where you can find a
metallic surface.

WARNING
Do not connect the end of the second
cable to the negative (
S
) terminal of the
battery to be jumped. A spark may cause
an explosion of the gases that surround
the battery.
Attaching jumper cables
Jump-Starting
1.
Make sure that the jumper cables are not in
the way of moving engine parts, then start
the booster vehicle. Run the engine at a
moderate speed.
2.
Let the discharged battery charge for a few
minutes and then start the disabled vehicle.
It may take a couple of tries before the
vehicle starts. If the vehicle does not start
after several attempts, there may be a
different problem.
3.
When both vehicles are running, let them
idle for a few minutes to charge the
discharged battery.

Removing jumper cables
1.
Always remove the jumper cables in the
reverse order.
Remove the negative (
S
) end
of the jumper cable from the metallic surface
on the engine or frame of the disabled
vehicle.
2.
Remove the negative (
S
) cable from the
booster battery.
3.
Remove the positive (+) cable from the
booster battery.
4.
Remove the other end of the positive (+)
cable from the discharged battery.
After the vehicle is started, let it idle for a while
to let the engine “relearn” its idle conditions.
Drive it around for a while with all electrical
accessories turned off to let the battery recharge.
Driveability may be deteriorated slightly until all
drive modes are “relearned.”
You may need to
use a battery charger to fully recharge the
battery.
If you need to replace your battery, see
Battery
in the
Maintenance and Care
chapter.
Towing Your Vehicle
The recommended method to tow your Aerostar
is with flatbed or wheel lift equipment.
However, slingbelt towing is acceptable. On
vehicles equipped with an under-vehicle spare
tire carrier, remove the tire assembly from the
carrier and store it in a secure area before
towing. For E-4WD vehicles, the 4-wheel drive
system must be disabled prior to towing. The
transmission must be in N (Neutral) and the
ignition switch must be in the OFF position to
disable the Electronic 4-Wheel Drive System.
