ward when the engine starts
could cause a collision with the
tow vehicle.

the discharged battery to over-
heat and crack, releasing bat-
tery acid.
Make sure to connect one end
of the jumper cable to the nega-
tive terminal of the booster bat-
tery, and the other end to a met-
alic point, far away from the bat-
tery.
