JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDURE
If your vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery it can be jump-started using a set
of jumper cables and a battery in an-
other vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack follow the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions and
precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the bat-
tery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
277
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
battery is frozen. It could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury.
PREPARATIONS FOR
JUMP-START
The battery in your vehicle is located
on the left side of the engine compart-
ment.WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is on. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent elec-
trical contact. You could be seri-
ously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
that can burn your skin or eyes
and generate hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into PARK
and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-
start the battery, park the vehicle
within the jumper cables reach, set
the parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each
other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal in-
jury could result. JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDURE
WARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery ex-
plosion.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures
could result in damage to the charg-
ing system of the booster vehicle or
the discharged vehicle.
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the
jumper cable to the positive (+)post of
the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the
jumper cable to the negative (-)post
of the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative (-)jumper cable to a good
engine ground (exposed metal part of
Positive Battery Post
278
the discharged vehicle’s engine) away
from the battery and the fuel injection
system.WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the nega-
tive post(-)of the discharged bat-
tery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode
and could result in personal injury.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery. Once the engine is
started, remove the jumper cables in
the reverse sequence:
6. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper
cable from the negative (-)post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
7. Disconnect the negative end (-)of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery. 8. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive
(+)jumper cable from the
positive (+)post of the booster bat-
tery.
9. Disconnect the positive (+)end of
the jumper cable from the positive (+)
post of the discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle you should have
the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories that can be plugged into
the vehicle power outlets draw
power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged
in long enough, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the en-
gine from starting. FREEING A STUCK
VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
sand or snow, it can often be moved by
a rocking motion. Turn your steering
wheel right and left to clear the area
around the front wheels. Then move
the shift lever back and forth between
DRIVE and REVERSE. Using mini-
mal accelerator pedal pressure to
maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels, is most effective.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the shift lever in
NEUTRAL for at least one minute
after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheat-
ing and reduce the risk of transmis-
sion failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
