5-19 SERVICE AND APPEARANCE CARE
78J00-03E
For battery replacement, see your dealer
or the service manual.
Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle
for 25 days or more, remove the black,
negative (–) cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from running
down.
You must close all doors and the liftgate
before reconnecting the battery. After
reconnecting the battery, you must press
the unlock button on the key transmitter.
Failure to follow this procedure may result
in sounding an alarm. Pressing unlock on
the key transmitter would stop the alarm.
Jump StartingIf your vehicle’s battery has run down, you
may want to use another vehicle and some
jumper cables to start your vehicle. Be
sure to use the following steps to do it
safely.
1) Check the other vehicle. It must have a
12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.2) Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles are not touching each
other. If they are, it could cause a
ground connection you do not want.
You would not be able to start your
vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles
rolling, set the parking brake firmly on
both vehicles involved in the jump start
procedure. Put an automatic transaxle
in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in
NEUTRAL before setting the parking
brake.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING
Batteries have acid that can burn you
and gas that can explode. You can be
badly hurt if you are not careful.
Refer to “Jump Starting” in this sec-
tion for tips on working around a bat-
tery without getting hurt.
WARNING
Batteries can hurt you. They can be
dangerous because:
 They contain acid that can burn
you.
 They contain gas that can explode
or ignite.
 They contain enough electricity to
burn you.
If you do not follow these steps
exactly, some or all of these things
can hurt you.
CAUTION
Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to your vehicle that
would not be covered by your war-
ranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by push-
ing or pulling it will not work, and it
could damage your vehicle.
CAUTION
If the other vehicle’s system is not a
12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be dam-
aged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt
systems with negative grounds to
jump start your vehicle.
CAUTION
If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump start-
ing procedure, they could be dam-
aged. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Always
turn off your radio and other acces-
sories when jump starting your vehi-
cle.
