Have You Ever Jump-Started Your Toyota Hilux? What Was the Experience Like?

A dead battery often requires a jump start. Have you ever done it yourself, o r did you need roadside assistance?

Jump-starting is easy but must be done carefully.

Steps to Jump-Start a Hilux:

Turn off both vehicles before connecting cables.
Connect red + cable to the dead battery’s positive terminal.
Connect the other end of the red + cable to the good battery’s positive terminal.
Connect black - cable to the good battery’s negative terminal.
Attach the other black - cable to a metal ground on the dead vehicle not the battery.
Start the donor vehicle, then start the Hilux.

🔴 Important: Never reverse the polarity, as it can damage the ECU.
