10. Return the flat tire,
jack and lug wrench to
their proper storage
locations. Make sure
the jack is fastened so
it does not rattle when
you drive.
11. Unblock the

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An
explosion could result in injury or vehicle damage.
Do not push start your vehicle. You could
damage the catalytic converter.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can
burn skin, eyes, and clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push start your vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability.
Preparing your vehicle
1.
Use only a 12±volt supply to start your vehicle.
2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled
vehicle as this could damage the vehicle's electrical
system.
3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the
disabled vehicle making sure the two vehiclesdo
nottouch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles
and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other
moving parts.

3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the assisting battery.
4. Make the final connection of the negative (-)
cable. For the 3.0L Vulcan, make the connection to
an exposed metal part of the stalled vehicle's engine,
away from the battery and the carburetor/fuel
injection system. For the 3.0L Duratec, make the
connection to the hood latch of the disabled engine,
away from the battery and the carburetor/fuel
injection system.
The preferred locations of an exposed metal part (to
groundthe circuit) are the alternator mounting
brackets or an engine liftingeye.Do notuse fuel
lines, engine rocker covers or the intake manifold as
groundingpoints.
Do not connect the end of the second cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the battery to
be jumped. A spark may cause an explosion of the
gases that surround the battery.
