If a battery sits in extreme cold,
the electrolyte inside can freeze.
Attempting to jump start a frozen
battery can cause it to rupture.

and Connect the first
jumper cable from the
positive “+” (red) terminal
on one battery to the
positive “+” (red) terminal
on the other battery. Never
connect “+” (red) to “–”
(black) or “–” to “+.”
•3 Next, connect one end
of the second cable to the
grounded negative “–”
(black) terminal of the good
(charged) battery.
•4 Lastly, connect the other
end of the second, grounded
jumper cable to a solid,
stationary, metallic point on
the engine of the vehicle
with the discharged battery but at a point at least 18
inches (45 cm) away from
the battery. Do not connect
it to pulleys, fans, or other
parts that move. Beware of
touching hot manifolds that
can cause burns. (The
mounting brackets for the
alternator or air
conditioning compressor
generally make a good
point for this final ground
attachment point. Take care
that the jumper cable does
not contact moving parts on
or near the alternator or
compressor.)
5. Start the engine on the vehicle with the good (charged) battery
and run the engine at moderate
speed.
226Care and Maintenance
been coated with corrosion
protectants.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody
with plain water. Take care to
thoroughly clean any areas where
mud and other debris can collect.
Sediment packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened
before being flushed.
With the use of modern trim
materials it is very important that
proper cleaning techniques and
cleaners be used. Failure to do
this on the first cleaning may
result in water spots, spot rings or
setting of stains, all of which
make it more difficult to remove
on a second cleaning.
The portion of the following
cleaning instructions that are in
ALL CAPITAL LETTERS are
especially important and
MUST
be followed.
Dust and loose dirt that
accumulate on interior fabrics
should be removed often with a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush.
Vinyl or leather trim should be
wiped regularly with a clean
damp cloth. Normal trim soil,
spots or stains can be cleaned with
conventional cleaners.
Remember These Basic Steps
Before Cleaning
1. Remove stains as quickly as possible before they become
“set.”
2. Use a clean cloth or sponge and change to a clean area
often. (
A SOFT brush may be
used if stains persist.)
3. Use solvent-type cleaners only in a well ventilated area; also,
do not saturate the stained
area.
4. If a ring forms after spot cleaning, clean the entire area
IMMEDIATELY.
5. Follow specific instructions onthe cleaning products’ labels.
