2010-2018 Mazda 5 Jump Start Dead Battery
Can’t start your Mazda 5 due to a dead battery? Learn how to jump-start a 2010-2018 Mazda 5 minivan with a dead battery.
What you will need
- Portable Jump Box
(or) - Jumper Cables
Procedure
To safely jump-start your Mazda 5, follow these instructions.
- Remove the key from the ignition of your Mazda. Modern Mazdas are very sensitive to voltage, and Mazda 5 is no exception. To avoid electrical problems, remove the key from the ignition.
Open the hood. Locate the hood release underneath the dash. Pull the lever until you hear your Mazda hood pop open. Next, you need to release the hood safety latch at the front of the car.
- Locate the battery. Determine the positive and negative terminals. Positive has a + or POS next to the post. Negative has – or NEG next to the post.
- Connect the positive jumper cable. Attach the red (positive) cable to the positive terminal. If you are using another car to jump-start your Mazda 5, you must connect the positive terminal to the helper car.
Connect the negative jumper cable. Connect the black (negative) cable to an engine ground point. If you are using another car to jump-start your Mazda 5, connect the other end of the black cable to the battery of the helper car.
If using a starter box, turn it on. If using a helper car, connect the red clamp to the positive terminal of the helper car. Connect the black clamp to the negative terminal of the helper car.
Start engine.
