E00800502301
If
the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To
start the engine by use of jumper ca-
bles from another vehicle, perform the cor-
rect procedures according to the instruc-
tion manual. Incorrect procedures could
result in a fire or explosion or damage to
the vehicles.
1. Get
the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. If they are, it
could cause a ground connection you don’t
want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad
grounding could damage the electrical sys-
tems. CAUTION
l
Check
the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles.
2. You
could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle.
Put an A/T in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in “N”
(Neutral). Turn off the ignition switch. WARNING
l Turn
off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Take care to make sure that
the cables or your clothes are never
caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal
injury could result.
NOTE l Turn

off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level. Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10. WARNING
l If
electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
