The high voltage battery contains potassium hydroxide (a strong
alkaline electrolyte) which can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. This vehicle does not
have push-start capability.
If you attempt to start your vehicle and the engine cranks but does not
start, the high voltage battery may need to be jump started.
The Service Soon (yellow wrench)
light in the instrument cluster may
also be illuminated and the message
center may display a message.
To jump start the high voltage
battery, turn the ignition to OFF,
open the access panel in the driver
side foot well and press the jump
start button momentarily. After
pressing the button, you should wait
eight minutes before attempting to
start the engine, otherwise the high
voltage battery may not receive
sufficient charge to start the engine.
The high voltage battery will use
voltage from the low voltage
(underhood) battery to charge itself.
When the button is pressed, the indicator light on the button will
illuminate. After eight minutes has passed, the indicator light will flash
rapidly for two minutes. Turn the ignition to RUN. You may now attempt
to start the engine.If you attempt to start the engine before the
eight minutes passes, the jump starting procedure will stop and
will have to be restarted if the engine does not start.
