3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4.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 inspected 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 engine from starting.
•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 battery, starter motor, alter-
nator or electrical system may occur.
•Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system
of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
•Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen.It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
•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.
•Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact.You could be seriously injured.
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydro-
gen gas which is flammable and explosive.Keep open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
•Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground con-
nection and personal injury could result.
•Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
•Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery.The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.

ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network
and power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will deter-
mine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
•Disable the high voltage battery.
•Place the transmission into PARK.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the 12 Volt battery has power
or until the ignition key is removed.
•Unlock the doors automatically.
•In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in
NEUTRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional.To place the transmission into
NEUTRAL you must turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle
the ignition) then push the NEUTRAL button.
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized dealership.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion.Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels.Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently
pressing the accelerator.Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will
maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Push the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Par-
tial Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle.Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Start-
ing And Operating” on the DVD for further information.Once the vehicle has been
freed, push the “ESC Off ” switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
