4. Switch the ignition on again to
re-enable the fuel pump.
Note: Various system checks are
automatically carried out before the vehicle
will restart. if your vehicle fails to restart
after the third attempt, the system has
detected a fault that requires service. We
recommend you contact an authorized
dealer.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNING: The gases around the
battery can explode if exposed to flames,
sparks or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in personal injury or vehicle damage. WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which can burn skin, eyes and clothing,
if contacted. WARNING:
Use only an
adequate-sized cable with insulated
clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note: Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the
two vehicles do not touch, and switch off
all accessories. Your vehicle has a positive (+) access
terminal and a negative (-) grounding
connection point that you can access
under the hood, even though the actual
battery is under the driver seat. You can
jump your vehicle using these points.
The positive (+) access terminal is next to
the fuse box, under a red cap. To access
the positive (+) terminal, lift the red cap
up.
The negative (-) terminal is a post, located
on the driver side, near the hood hinge. It
is a grounding connection point, so you will
need to remove the rubber covering first.
