If
the electric motor unit cannot be started because
the auxiliary battery is weak or dead, the battery
from another vehicle can be used with jumper ca-
bles to start the electric motor unit. WARNING
l To
start the electric motor unit by using
jumper cables from another vehicle, per-
form the correct procedures according to
the instruction below. Incorrect proce-
dures could result in a fire or explosion
or damage to the vehicles. CAUTION
l
The
electric motor unit cannot be started
by pulling or pushing the vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get
the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. 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. Turn
off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehicle and move the selector lever into the “P” posi-
tion.
4. Set the parking brake firmly on another vehi- cle. Put an A/T in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in
“N” (Neutral).
5. Turn the ignition switch or the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position. WARNING
l Perform
step 5 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
6. Remove
the battery cover, and then make sure auxiliary battery electrolyte is at the prop-
er level.
Refer to “Auxiliary battery” on page 8-12. 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.
7. Connect
one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B). For emergencies

Connect one end of the other jumper cable to
the
negative (-) terminal of the booster bat-
tery, and the other end to the designated loca-
tion of the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery at the point farthest from the battery. WARNING
l Make
sure you observe the following or-
der when connecting the cables: → →
→
l
Make sure you make connection to the
correct

designated location (as shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (-) side of the dis-
charged battery, flammable gases gener-
ated from the battery might catch fire
and explode. WARNING
l When
connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery. CAUTION
l
Take
care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the bonnet room or engine com-
partment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size to prevent overheating of the ca-
bles.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
8. Start
the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the electric motor unit in the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
9. Check that the ready indicator illuminates.

[When the ready indicator illuminates]
Stop

the engine of another vehicle, discon-
nect the cables in the reverse order and
charge the auxiliary battery for more than 30
minutes.
After the auxiliary battery is charged, contin-
ue the process from step 16.

[When the ready indicator does not illuminate]
Both the auxiliary battery and the traction bat-
tery have gone flat at the same time.

battery by the following procedures (from
steps 10 to 14).

10. Keep connecting the jumper cable to each ve- hicle, turn the electric motor switch of your
vehicle to the “LOCK” position.
NOTE l The jumper cable needs to be connected to
the auxiliary battery when you start charging
the traction battery because the on board
charger etc. operate with a power source of
auxiliary battery.
11. Charge the traction battery by regular charg- ing. (Refer to “Regular charging” on page
