Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If you
feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a c\
ompetent service
technician do the work.
WARNING
Follow These Precautions Carefully:
To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions
carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.


Do not allow the positive () terminal to contact any other metal object that
could cause sparks: Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. When working near a battery, do
not allow metal tools to contact the positive (
) or negative () terminal of the battery.


Keep all fl ames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from open battery cells:
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.

Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fl uid level:
Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fl uid level is dangerous. It may rupture
or explode, causing serious injury.

Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the battery: Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative (
) terminal of the
discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving: Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous. The
cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.

If Trouble Arises
Battery Runs Out
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Make sure the booster battery is 12 V and that its negative terminal is
grounded.
3. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow both vehicles
to touch. Turn off the engine of the
vehicle with the booster battery and
all unnecessary electrical loads in both
vehicles.
4. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence as in the illustration.
y Connect one end of a cable to the positive terminal on the discharged
battery (1).
y Attach the other end to the positive terminal on the booster battery (2).
y Connect one end of the other cable to the negative terminal of the booster
battery (3).
y Connect the other end to the ground point indicated in the illustration away
from the discharged battery (4).
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run it a few minutes. Then start the
engine of the other vehicle. 6. (With i-ELOOP system)
The i-ELOOP indicator light may fl
ash
after the engine is started. The indicator
light turns off when the engine is
running and the charging is completed.

i-ELOOP indicator light fl ashing, a
beep sound is heard.
 y If the steering wheel is operated with
the i-ELOOP indicator light fl ashing, it
may feel heavier than normal, however,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
The steering operation will return to
normal when the i-ELOOP indicator
light turns off.
 y  Do not remove the jumper cables while
the i-ELOOP indicator light is fl ashing.
7. When fi nished, carefully disconnect the
cables in the reverse order described in
