IN AN EMERGENCY
JUMP-STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be
jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a battery
in another 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.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the bat-
tery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
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, alternator
or electrical system may occur.
NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack
follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and
precautions. PREPARATIONS FOR JUMP-START
The battery in your vehicle is located between the left
front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash
shield. To allow jump-starting, there are remote bat-
tery posts located on the left side of the engine com-
partment.
