hand Ling of your veh icle's battery.
- Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
- A discharged battery can freeze at tempera­
tures just below 32 °F (0 °C). Before con­
nect ing a jumper cab le, you must thaw the
240
frozen battery completely, otherwise it
could explode.
- Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes or
skin. Flush any contacted area with water immed iately.
- Improper use of a booster battery to start a
veh icle may cause an explosion.
- Vehicle batteries generate explosive gases .
Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries.
- Do not try to jump start any vehicle with a
low acid level in the battery.
- The voltage of the booster battery must al­
so have a 12-Volt rat ing . The capacity (Ah)
of the booster battery should not be lower
than that of the discharged battery. Use of batter ies of different voltage or substantial­
ly different "Ah" rating may cause an explo­
sion and personal injury .
- Never charge a frozen battery . Gas trapped
in the ice may cause an explosion .
- Never charge or use a battery that has been
frozen . The battery case may have be weak­
ened .
- Use of batter ies of different voltage or sub­
stantially d ifferent capacity (Ah) rating may
cause an explosion and injury. The capacity
(Ah) of the booster battery sho uld not be
lowe r than that of the discharged battery.
- Before you check anything in the engine
compartment, always read and heed a ll

der cover= "positive") of the vehicle to be
started @.
2. Connect the other end to the positive termi- nal@of the booster battery @.
Connect NEGATIVE (-) to NEGATIVE(-)
(black)
3. Connect one end of the black negative cable
to the negative terminal ® of the booster
battery @.
4 . Connect the other end to the jump start bolt
@ (Bolts with hex head= "negative") of the

.. With engine running, remove jumper cables
from both vehicles in the exact
reverse order .
.. Close the cover on the positive pole.
The battery is vented to the outside to prevent
gases from entering the vehicle inter ior. Make
sure that the jumper clamps are well connected
with their
metal parts in full contact with the
batte ry terminals.
A WARNING

on the driver's side 8 -p ill ar.
_& WARNING
- T he actual Gross Axle Weight Rating at the
front and rear axles should not exceed the
permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating .

- The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
rear axle as possible so that the vehicle 's
hand ling is not impaired .
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
