External power source using 12V
battery
The use of external power acces-
sories may reduce performance
and function of the vehicle.
Especially, the use of dash cam-
eras may shut off the power of the
vehicle prior to the dash camera's
automatic shut-down.
If the power of the vehicle is shut
off, start the vehicle as explained.
(refer to "Using the 12V Battery
Switch")
Jump Starting
In the event vehicle still does not
have a functional 12V battery (check
if interior lights will not turn on) then
you can try a jump start using a 12V
booster pack or jumper cables from
another vehicle's 12V battery
according to the following instruc-
tions.1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in
the fuel cell power module com-
partment at all times, even when
the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such
as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brake. Turn
both vehicles OFF.
NOTICE
Jump starting can be danger-
ous if done incorrectly. Follow
the jump starting procedure in
this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehi-
cle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehi-
cle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service techni-
cian or towing service do it for
you.
