accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps touch anything exceptthe correct battery terminals or the ground.
5. Start your engine in the normal way. 
After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator ped-
al lightly depressed. 
6. Carefully disconnect the cables in the 
exact reverse order: the negative cable
and then the positive cable. 
7. Carefully dispose of the battery cover 
clothsÐthey may now contain sulfuricacid. 
8. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs.

1. Reduce  your speed gradually, keeping
a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place. 
2. Turn on your emergency flashers. 
3. Try starting the engine again.
If the engine will not start, see If your ve- 
hicle will not startº.If the engine is not running, the 
power assist for the brakes and 
steering will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual. CAUTION
! If your engine coolant temperature 
gauge indicates overheating, if you 
experience a loss of power, or if you
hear a 
loud knocking or pinging noise,
the engine has probably overheated.
You should follow this procedure 0
1. Pull  safely off the road, stop the vehicle
and turn on your emergency flashers. Put 
the transmission in Pº (automatic) or  neu-
tral ( manual) and apply the parking brake.
Turn off the air conditioning if it is beingused. 
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the 
radiator or  reservoir, stop the engine. Wait
until the steam subsides before opening 
the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the engine running.
To help avoid personal injury, keep 
the hood closed until there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant
is a sign of very high pressure. CAUTION
!
3. Visually  check to see if the engine drive
belt (fan belt) is broken or loose. Look for 
obvious coolant leaks from the radiator,
hoses, and under the vehicle. However, note  that water draining from the air condi-
tioning is normal if it has been used.
