mable liquids into the throttle
body air inlet opening in an at-
tempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow
your vehicle to get it started. Ve-
hicles equipped with an automatic
transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could en-
ter the catalytic converter and
once the engine has started, ignite
and damage the converter and ve-
hicle. If the vehicle has a dis-
charged battery, booster cables
may be used to obtain a start from
a booster battery or the battery in
