seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat’s temperature drops.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.

There
may be an electrical
problem, such as no power to the
fuel pump. Check all the fuses
(see page ). Although
this seems like a simple
procedure, you should take several
precau tions. Open
the hood, and check the
physical condition of the battery.
In very cold weather, check the
condition of the electrolyte. If it
seems slushy or frozen, do not try
jump starting until it thaws.
Connect one jumper cable to the
positive ( ) terminal on your
battery. Connect the other end to
the positive ( ) terminal on the
booster battery.
Do
you have fuel? Check the fuel
gauge; the low fuel indicator may
not be working.
You cannot start your vehicle by
pushing or pulling it.
Are
you using a properly coded
key? An improperly coded key will
cause the immobilizer system
indicator in the instrument panel
to blink rapidly (see page ).
If youfindnothingwrong,youwill
need a qualif ied mechanic to f ind the
problem. See
on page . Turn of f all electrical accessories:
heater, A/C, climate control, audio
system, lights, etc. Put the
transmission in Park, and set the
parking brake. To jump start your vehicle:

A battery can explode if you do
not follow the correct procedure,
seriously injuring anyone
nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames,
and smoking materials away
from the battery. If a battery sits in extreme cold, the
electrolyte inside can f reeze.
Attempting to jump start with a f rozen
battery can cause it to rupture.
